  "account": "RFA Financial reported a strong second quarter of 2026, with steady lending growth, successful real estate operations, and minimal credit losses. However, the company's stock fell after the announcement, closing at $23.50, a 0.63% decrease from its previous close of $23.65. This decline suggests that the market was reacting more to operating trends and the company's long-term outlook rather than a clear earnings surprise. RFA Financial detailed progress across its lending and real estate businesses, with a net interest margin of 2.1% and a CET1 ratio of 17.5% at RFA Bank. Lending platform growth was driven by demand for both alternative and prime mortgage products, with total originations for RFA Bank and RFA Mortgage Corporation up 35% year to date. The real estate division continued to recycle capital through property sales, closing 13 properties worth CAD 94 million and holding CAD 442 million in investment properties for sale. Management noted that the company's year-to-date sales and unconditional contracts were completed at an average of 4.6% above IFRS values. However, the lack of EPS or revenue comparison meant investors had to rely on operating performance, which was deemed solid. The company's medium-term targets remain unchanged, with plans to execute CAD 1.3 billion to CAD 1.5 billion in asset sales over the next three to five years and grow its lending portfolio to CAD 8 billion to CAD 12 billion. Ben Rodney, CEO, stated that Q2 was another quarter of sound execution against the long-term strategy.",
