DBRS Morningstar Discontinues Ratings on 11 U.S. RMBS Transactions
RMBSDBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) reviewed 20 classes from 11 U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions. Out of the 11 transactions, one transaction is generally classified as ReREMIC, six transactions are generally classified as RMBS, two transactions are Qualified Mortgage, and two transactions are Mortgage Insurance-linked Notes. Of the 20 classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar discontinued all 20 ratings.
The discontinued ratings reflect the full repayment of principal to bondholders.
The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary “Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns: June 2023 Update,” published on June 30, 2023 (https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/416703). 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 March 3, 2023.
