DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on 37 U.S. RMBS Transactions

RMBS
January 27, 2020

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) took rating actions on 457 classes from 37 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 457 classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar upgraded 23 ratings, confirmed 355 ratings, downgraded 30 ratings, and discontinued 49 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 rating downgrades reflect the unlikely recovery of the bonds’ principal loss amount or the transactions’ negative trend in loss activity. 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 September 2018.

The pools backing these RMBS transactions consist of pre-crisis prime, Alt-A, subprime, and post crisis prime 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 additional seasoning warranted to substantiate a further upgrade and deal or tranche performance that is not fully reflected in the projected model output:
