Fitch assigns expected ratings to Chase 2026-3

Fitch Ratings has assigned expected ratings to Chase Home Lending Mortgage Trust 2026-2, a transaction structured to securitize residential mortgage loans. The ratings assessment reflects Fitch's analysis of the underlying collateral, credit enhancement levels, and structural features of the securitization. While specific rating details, such as credit metrics or tranche-specific scores, were not disclosed in the initial announcement, Fitch noted its evaluation aligns with its standard criteria for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).

This action follows Fitch's affirmation of Chase's U.S. RMBS servicer ratings on January 15, 2026, underscoring the agency's confidence in the servicer's operational and credit risk management frameworks. Final ratings for the 2026-2 transaction were later assigned on February 27, 2026, based on finalized deal terms and performance projections.

Investors are advised to review Fitch's detailed methodology for RMBS ratings, which emphasizes factors such as borrower credit profiles, loan-to-value ratios, and macroeconomic stress scenarios. No material changes to the transaction's structure or collateral performance were indicated in the ratings actions. Updates on the deal's performance or any rating revisions will be communicated through Fitch's standard reporting channels.

As of March 6, 2026, no further developments related to the 2026-2 transaction have been reported.
