DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on 73 U.S. RMBS Transactions

RMBS
March 13, 2020

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) reviewed 1,083 classes from 73 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 1,083 classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar upgraded 33 ratings; downgraded 11 ratings; confirmed 1,020 ratings; and discontinued 19 ratings.

The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating levels. The rating downgrades reflect the unlikely recovery of the bonds’ principal loss amount or the transactions’ negative trend in loss activity. The rating confirmations reflect asset performance and credit-support levels that are consistent with the current ratings. The discontinued ratings reflect the transactions exercising their cleanup call option or the full repayment of principal to bondholders.

The rating actions are a result of DBRS Morningstar’s application of the “U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology” published in February 2020.

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

The ratings assigned to the securities below differ from the ratings implied by the quantitative model. DBRS Morningstar considers this difference to be a material deviation, but in this case, the ratings of the subject notes reflect either additional seasoning being warranted to substantiate a further upgrade or actual deal or tranche performance not being fully reflected in the projected cash flows/model output.
