LoanServ
LoanServ Portfolio: A Second Chapter of Steady Growth — In Chapter 2 of 2026, the LoanServ portfolio kept the same even pace it set in Q1. Active loan counts rose 1.48% and UPB grew 0.55% to $1,080.01B. June 2026 EOM.
Delinquency: A More Textured Picture — Where Q1’s early-stage delinquency cleared like a post-holiday reset, Q2’s story has more nuance. Sixty-day delinquencies fell 18.68% in loan count and 32.11% in balance — a genuine bright spot on its face. But 90-day delinquencies and foreclosure inventory both grew over the same period (+4.83% and +2.51% respectively), and bankruptcy balances rose 4.45% even as loan counts held flat. Read together, this looks less like broad-based curing and more like loans moving further along the delinquency ladder — water finding its way downstream rather than draining off.
Looking Ahead: Portfolio Shifts Overall — Q2 data continues the shift toward government-backed loans that began earlier in the year, with FHA & VA both gaining share while Conventional eased back. As in Q1, this shift adds a bit of servicing complexity and prepayment sensitivity but continues to lower overall credit risk.
Beyond the Data — Sagent continues to partner with Fannie Mae and FreddieMac with their data modernization workstreams. We look forward to pilots of each agency’s event reporting for delinquency in late 3rd quarter of 2026.
