KBRA Releases Monthly CMBS Trend Watch

BY Business Wire | AGENCY | 10/03/24 10:18 AM EDT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KBRA releases the September 2024 issue of CMBS Trend Watch.

There is a renewed sense of optimism in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. With the Federal Reserve lowering its key interest rate and signaling more rate cuts to come, confidence is building that lower borrowing costs will lead to an increase in transaction activity and prices. This could add to the CRE issuance momentum already experienced this year, which on a year-to-date (YTD) September year-over-year (YoY) basis has increased 176.5%. Based on our current visibility, the momentum is expected to carry into October as up to 15 deals could launch in the month including six single-borrower (SB) deals, six conduits, two commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations (CRE CLO), and one Freddie Mac (Agency) deal.

In September, KBRA published pre-sales for nine deals ($7.3 billion) including four conduits ($3.6 billion), four SBs ($2.9 billion), and one Agency ($843.2 million). September?s surveillance activity included rating reviews of 463 securities issued in connection with 39 transactions. Of the 463 ratings, 382 were affirmed, 70 were downgraded, and 11 were upgraded. In addition, seven ratings were placed on Watch Developing. The activity was effectuated across 39 transactions including 23 conduits, six CRE CLOs, five Agency transactions, three SBs, one large loan, and one small balance commercial deal.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
