↓ -3%Pagaya Technologies, a fintech company enabling loan application management, has experienced significant volatility since Jim Cramer recommended selling in February. The stock is down 45% year-to-date and 14% since Cramer's comments, though it surged 209% between late February and early September. On 24 February, Cramer advised taking profits, stating fintech winners were limited. The stock initially dropped 23.9% on 9 February after missing fourth-quarter revenue estimates. However, shares jumped 25.4% on 17 July following strong preliminary second-quarter results, with network volume, revenue and net income all exceeding guidance. Despite the interim rally, the overall downward trajectory has vindicated Cramer's sell recommendation. Pagaya's shares are up 16% over the past year but remain significantly lower than February levels.
Consistent market demand led to the successful onboarding of four new institutional investors to the PAID platform, further diversifying the company’s funding base. Since inception, Pagaya has generated $28.5 billion in ABS for personal loans to support its growing Partner Network.
Pagaya has raised $340 million through its PAID 2026-R2 asset-backed securities offering. The proceeds will fund a purchase account to acquire unsecured consumer loans from PAID 2024-2 and 2024-3, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency and Fitch Ratings. The deal issues notes across fourteen tranches, from classes A1 through EF. Most tranches have a legal final maturity date of 15 February 2034, whilst A1 notes mature on 15 April 2027. The transaction represents Pagaya's continued activity in the consumer loan securitisation market, with the company using the structure to refinance previous ABS series.
Pagaya Technologies has closed a $600 million AAA-rated personal loan asset-backed securitisation, attracting 27 investors including four new institutional participants. The transaction, designated PAID 2026-2, demonstrates continued market confidence in the company's AI-driven credit platform. Since launching securitisations in 2018, Pagaya has issued over $36 billion across 86 transactions, supported by more than 165 institutional investors. The company has generated $28.5 billion specifically in personal loan ABS issuance to support its partner network spanning personal loans, auto lending and point-of-sale financing. Pagaya uses machine learning and data analytics to expand credit access whilst providing investment opportunities to institutional partners. The company said the successful execution reflects consistent platform performance and sustained market appetite for its structured credit offerings.
Pagaya has closed its first auto resecuritization transaction, RPM-2026-R1, raising approximately $450 million. The deal attracted 17 unique investors, demonstrating strong demand for seasoned collateral. The transaction marks a significant advancement in Pagaya's capital markets strategy and is expected to increase investor interest in its auto loan ecosystem. The deal provides investors access to diversified auto assets with 24 months of seasoning. The successful closure solidifies Pagaya's position in the financial ecosystem and establishes a foundation for future financing activities.
