KBRA Affirms and Upgrades Ratings from Octane Receivables Trust

15 Jun 2026   |   New York

Contacts

KBRA affirms its ratings on 24 classes of notes and upgrades its ratings on 14 classes of notes issued from nine Octane Receivables Trust (“OCTL”) transactions. KBRA’s analysis indicated that existing credit enhancement for the notes is sufficient to support the revised and affirmed ratings. All of the securities with upgraded ratings experienced increased credit enhancement. The data used for this review is as of the May 2026 distribution date (April 2026 collection period). To date, the securities have received timely interest payments.

In performing its rating review, KBRA utilized its General Global Rating Methodology for Asset Backed Securities and Auto Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology. In determining these rating actions, KBRA reviewed the collateral performance to date and projected the remaining loss for the transactions based on current assumptions. The rating actions, along with related deal and tranche performance information, are available in spreadsheet form in the accompanying Octane Receivables Trust Comprehensive Surveillance Dashboard.
