DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on 48 U.S. RMBS Transactions

RMBS
December 13, 2022

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) reviewed 1,235 classes from 48 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 1,235 classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar upgraded 108 ratings, confirmed 1,104 ratings, and discontinued 23 ratings.

The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating levels. The rating confirmations reflect asset performance and credit-support levels that are consistent with the current ratings. The discontinued ratings reflect the full repayment of principal to bondholders.

The pools backing the reviewed RMBS transactions consist of prime mortgage collateral.

The ratings assigned to the securities listed below differ from the ratings implied by the quantitative model. DBRS Morningstar considers these differences material deviations; however, in these cases, the ratings on the subject securities may reflect additional seasoning being warranted to substantiate a further upgrade or that the actual deal or tranche performance is not fully reflected in the projected cash flows/model output.

The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary “Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns: September 2022 Update,” published on September 19, 2022 (https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/402907). These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

The rating actions are the result of DBRS Morningstar’s application of its “U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology,” published on February 21, 2020.
