Ready Capital Securitizes $158.2M SBA Loans, Unlocking $500M Capacity
RC sits 25% above its 52-week low of $1.39.
Summary
Ready Capital securitized $158.2 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loans, generating $24.6 million in net liquidity and unlocking $500 million in additional SBA 7(a) funding capacity. This follows the Q2 loss reported last week, where the company posted a GAAP net loss of $99.7 million and a distributable loss to common of $77.6 million. The securitization provides a meaningful liquidity boost and expands the company's ability to originate new SBA loans, which could help offset recent earnings pressure. The move is a capital markets transaction that strengthens the balance sheet without equity dilution.
