DBRS Takes Rating Actions on 35 U.S. RMBS Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) reviewed 453 classes from 35 U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions. Of the 453 classes reviewed, DBRS upgraded 23 ratings, confirmed 428 ratings, downgraded one rating and discontinued one rating.

The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating levels. For transactions where the ratings have been confirmed, current asset performance and credit support levels are consistent with the current ratings. The rating downgrade reflects the transaction’s continued erosion of credit support as well as negative trends in delinquency and projected loss activity. The discontinued rating is the result of full repayment of principal to bondholders.

The rating actions are the result of DBRS’s application of “RMBS Insight 1.3: U.S. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Model and Rating Methodology,” published on April 4, 2017.

The transactions consist of U.S. RMBS transactions. The pools backing these transactions consist of Alt-A, subprime, seasoned and reperforming collateral.

The ratings assigned to the securities listed below differ from the ratings implied by the quantitative model. DBRS considers this difference to be a material deviation, but in this case, the ratings of the subject notes reflect certain risks and historical performance that constrain the quantitative model output.
