KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Stream Innovations 2026-2 Issuer Trust

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes issued by Stream Innovations 2026-2 Issuer Trust (“STRE 2026-2”), an asset-backed securitization collateralized by a pool of consumer loans used for home improvements. The ratings reflect the initial credit enhancement levels ranging from 25.85% for the Class A notes to 7.45% for the Class D notes. Credit enhancement on the notes is comprised of overcollateralization, subordination of junior note classes (except for the Class D notes), a cash reserve account funded at closing, and excess spread.

STRE 2026-2 is Stream Innovations Inc. (“Stream” or the “Company”) fifth ABS securitization. STRE 2026-2 will issue four classes of notes totaling $255.63 million. As of the September 14, 2026 cutoff date, the transaction consisted of approximately $172.72 million receivables, with an expected collateral balance of $274.72 million after completion of the three-month prefunding period.

Stream was founded in 2020, is based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and provides financing for customers of Power Home Remodeling Group, LLC (“Power Home” or the “Merchant”), under the Stream Program. Stream was founded and is owned by several of the owners of Power Home, the COO of Power Home and the CEO of Stream. Power Home, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Chester, Pennsylvania, is a home remodeling company focused on the installation and construction of residential energy efficiency and home improvement projects.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology as part of its analysis of the static pool data and the underlying collateral pool and stressed the capital structure based upon its stress case cash flow assumptions.
