Brightspeed – ABS is on the table…how much? And is this a good thing?

A likely mid-2026 ABS deal is a focus for both Brightspeed and debtholders as became clear on the company’s 4Q call on 4/8. We believe Brightspeed will access the market this year to address its liquidity needs in service of its YE26 4mm fiber passings target. As such, we examine here what a potential ABS deal might look like. Based upon our understanding of the broader fiber ABS market, we believe $2bn is a realistic target for a 2026-series with $1.0bn - $1.5bn coming from a debut issuance followed by $0.5bn - $1.0bn in a series-2 offering.
