ABS COMMENTARY

NextGear ABS Defies Wartime Tensions

NextGear Floorplan Master Owner Trust (NFMOT) 2026-1, a $438mm no-grow dealer Floorplan ABS was priced at competitive spreads via joint leads MUFG, RBC, and SMBC, despite overall market jitters caused by combat operations in the Middle East deadlocking most fixed income desks. NextGear has been a national provider of floorplan financing to independent auto dealers since 2013.

The $140mm floating rate Class A-1 and $260mm fixed rate Class A-2, rated Aaa/AAA by Moody's and S&P respectively, with a 2.93-year weighted average life (WAL), priced at 63 basis points over SOFR and the interpolated curve, respectively. This pricing came inside the original guidance range of 65 to 70 basis points announced earlier this morning.

The $38.2mm fixed rate Class B, rated A2/A by Moody's and S&P respectively, with a 2.93-year WAL, priced at 110 basis points over the interpolated curve, on the tight end of the original guidance range of 110 to 120 basis points.

Below are the pricing details and a comparison to the most recent NextGear offering:
