Loan Modification

Loan modification is a negotiated change to a loan’s rate, maturity, covenants, collateral, payment schedule, or other terms.

Why this matters to income investors

Changes to rates, collateral, or payment terms can improve or weaken dividend-supporting income.

How to use loan modification in your research

Read the borrower or issuer disclosures for collateral, payment priority, covenant terms, and missed payments. Then check how a deterioration could reduce interest income or the value available to support future dividends.
