GCAR Auto Receivables Issuer Trust is raising $907.7 million through asset-backed securities collateralised by subprime auto loans originated by Global Lending Services. The GCAR 2026-1 deal comes four months after Sixth Street Partners acquired Global Lending Services from Sound Point Capital Management. The collateral pool comprises primarily used vehicles (83.5%), with loans having a weighted-average FICO score of 574 and annual percentage rate of 20.6%. This prompts a cumulative net loss assumption of 16.9%, according to Morningstar DBRS. Initial overcollateralisation stands at 3.55% of the pool balance. Total initial credit enhancement increased to 11.40% for class D notes from 11.25% in the previous series, whilst decreasing for classes B, C and E. The notes received ratings from S&P, KBRA and DBRS.
Pagaya Technologies has announced its first forward flow agreement with Sound Point Capital Management for up to $720 million in point-of-sale loans, whilst reporting a record pipeline of new partners across personal loans, auto and POS asset classes. The deal expands Pagaya's distribution reach and funding sources ahead of its next earnings release. The AI-driven B2B2C platform provider's funding agreement addresses some execution risk, though the market remains cautious about consumer credit cyclicality and the company's profitability track record. Fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community range widely from $27 to over $311 per share. The new funding and partner pipeline will test whether Pagaya can maintain growth whilst managing funding depth and credit-cycle exposure.
