NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 65 classes of mortgage pass-through notes from OBX 2026-AHC2 Trust, a prime agency-eligible RMBS transaction sponsored by Onslow Bay Financial LLC, that is fully originated and serviced by AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC (AmeriHome). This transaction is comprised of 599 residential mortgages with an aggregate unpaid principal balance (UPB) of approximately $340.0 million as of the June 1, 2026 cut-off date.
