Morningstar DBRS is a leading provider of independent rating services and opinions for corporate and sovereign entities, financial institutions, and project and structured finance instruments globally. Rating more than 4,000 issuers and 60,000 securities, we are one of the top four credit rating agencies in the world and a market leader in Canada, the U.S. and Europe in multiple asset classes.



Although the Bank of Canada has started its monetary policy easing cycle, credit, regulatory, and regional challenges still persist for the Canadian banks. Housing costs continue to weigh down Canadian households, commercial real estate, particularly the office sector, remains a concern, the U.S. regional bank sector is posing headwinds, regulatory developments continue to drive capital management strategies, and operational risk management issues are causing heightened concerns.

Join Morningstar DBRS for a Frontline Perspectives webinar as we examine the growing penetration of private-label CSPs globally, and the implications thereof for manufacturers of branded CSPs and grocers.

Although inflation is normalizing, prices of consumer staple products remain elevated. This, combined with high interest rates that are only slowly declining, has continued to squeeze consumer purchasing power, contributing to the growing penetration of private-label CSPs. In 2022 and 2023, sales of private-label CSPs grew considerably more than those of their branded counterparts, and now account for around 40% and 20% of the total grocery market value in Europe and the U.S., respectively, while in the U.K., private-label CSPs make up more than 50% of all grocery sales. Does the proliferation of private-label CSPs signal the beginning of the end for branded consumer product companies?

During the second quarter of 2024, Morningstar DBRS issued and refreshed a total of 286 CEs across 279 borrowers for 26 lenders including managers of CLOs and private credit funds. Total volumes include CEs assigned to new borrowers and existing CEs refreshed for periodic review and amendments, as well as a handful of internal assessments. Currently, Morningstar DBRS assigns CEs to about 1,400 leveraged corporate borrowers. CEs are not credit ratings, but rather point-in-time assessments of credit quality, which are used to estimate borrower default likelihood in CLOs, rated feeder funds, investment fund debt, equipment leases, and other structured finance transactions.

Join Morningstar DBRS on September 10 for a Frontline Perspectives webinar detailing second-quarter CE activity and performance, presented by Jerry van Koolbergen and Orest Gavrylak.

Frontline Perspectives: Credit Estimate Quarterly Snapshot - April 2024

Heading into the second half of 2024, the Big Six banks are still facing a challenging operating environment but continue to maintain ample liquidity and solid capital. Q2 2024 sequential adjusted earnings increased modestly driven by higher noninterest income, paired with a slight reduction in noninterest expenses. However, credit deterioration progressed further in Q2 2024, with impaired PCL increasing for the seventh-consecutive quarter. Following the Bank of Canada's 25 bps interest rate cut on June 5, 2024, some much needed relief should be provided to heavily indebted Canadian borrowers as debt continues to reprice at maturity, along with a potential boost to muted loan growth and moderating net interest income. 

Join us for a discussion on the Large Canadian Banks Q2 2024 Round-Up. Carl De Souza, Senior Vice President and Sector Lead, North American Financial Institution Ratings will discuss capital levels, funding and liquidity, and credit quality trends, as well as what can be expected moving forward with monetary policy uncertainty. 

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.

Canadian Credit Unions 2024 Outlook: A Period of Headwinds for Earnings

Morningstar DBRS invites you to attend a webinar on 18 June at 03:30 p.m. BST | 04:30 p.m. CEST | 10:30 am EDT. The webinar will be hosted by Marcos Alvarez, Managing Director, Global Insurance Ratings at Morningstar DBRS, and guest speaker Phil Baker, President of BOXX Canada & Global Chief Underwriting Officer.

Businesses and governments across the globe have experienced a significant surge in cyber incidents in recent years, resulting in a dramatic increase in the demand for cyber insurance products. While cyber insurance is an attractive market opportunity for insurers, it also presents a different type of risk to manage. One that can be more difficult to price than most other insurance risks, given the relative lack of comprehensive data, the evolving nature of cybercrime, the potentially catastrophic nature of cyber-attacks, and the high level of technical expertise required to value this risk correctly.

Join us for a discussion about the current state of the cyber insurance market. We will examine potential opportunities for insurance companies and how they can provide value to clients looking to manage their increasing exposure to cyber risks and enhance their insurability.

The discussion will last approximately 30 minutes, followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. Morningstar DBRS welcomes all who wish to participate.

The discussion will focus on the impact of pandemic on the retail and office sector. Analysts will provide credit views on some of the recent transactions and will discuss how ecommerce and working from home have had an impact on the aforementioned sectors. As workers are encouraged back to the office, some of the trends observed over the past few years both in the retail and office sectors will be irreversible. Lenders as well as tenants will have to adapt and be flexible to current market conditions, which could have a knock on impact on the CMBS securitisation transactions.
