DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) reviewed ten ratings from two U.S. structured finance asset-backed securities transactions. Of the ten outstanding publicly rated classes reviewed, four were upgraded and six were confirmed. For the ratings that were upgraded, performance trends are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS’s expected losses at their new respective rating levels.
