Morningstar DBRS Takes Credit Rating Action on SoFi Consumer Loan Program 2023-1S Trust
Consumer Loans & Credit CardsDBRS, Inc. (Morningstar DBRS) confirmed its AAA (sf) credit rating on the Class A Notes issued by SoFi Consumer Loan Program 2023-1S Trust.
The credit rating action is based on the following analytical considerations:
--The transaction parties' capabilities with regard to originating, underwriting, and servicing.
--The credit rating action is the result of the transaction performance to date, Morningstar DBRS assessment of future performance assumptions, and the increasing level of credit enhancement.
--The transaction's capital structure and the form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement. The current level of hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the Morningstar DBRS-projected remaining cumulative net loss assumption at a multiple of coverage commensurate with the credit rating.
--The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS' baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary, "Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns June 2024 Update," published on June 28, 2024. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace Morningstar DBRS' moderate and adverse coronavirus pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.
