Stranded cost ABS is expected to pick up in the near term, according to Lehman Brothers, with the bulk of supply coming from New Jersey and Texas - the most favorable states from which to buy RRB ABS. Depending on the legal challenges Lehman estimates that stranded cost ABS issuance could top $3 billion, should all the expected utilities hit the market this year.

With both the Conseco Finance and Oakwood Homes situations seemingly resolved, and spreads having stabilized in recent months, Banc of America Securities researchers took a closer look at Oakwood MH transactions and found additional losses and ratings volatility ahead. Calling the ratings on the most senior positions within the capital structure "currently high" for bonds issued from 1997 through 2002, given the loss coverage protection, BofA predicts downgrades of seniors and principal writedowns for all mezzanine and subordinate tranches in the focus group of outstanding ABS. In its analysis, BofA stressed in an aggressive scenario wherein all bonds were run to maturity. Delinquency and loss triggers were set to fail, and loss severity was set at 80% for the next two years and 60% thereafter. Using this data, BofA then assigned implied ratings to Oakwood Homes MH ABS, and found many to be over rated. In addition to poor performance of mezz and sub bonds, loss coverage on seniors is insufficient as well. Under its moderate base-case scenario, BofA found that current ratings are significantly higher than they should be and that "only seven out of the 60 senior bonds that we ran stresses on warrant a triple-A rating based on our implied ratings scale." Not surprisingly, BofA found that as its stress scenarios became more intense, the newer vintages suffered the most. As a result, BofA believes that the safest haven is in the 1997 vintages. Furthermore 1997-issue senior bonds, under moderate to aggressive stresses, do not see any principal writedowns. The same cannot be said for many other Oakwood bonds, which BofA expects to underperform.

The ABS primary priced $9.2 billion last week, in a slow to develop market that was overshadowed by bid lists and secondary activity early in the week. But by Wednesday, with the quarter-end rapidly approaching, new issues flooded into the market. Pent up investor demand led to bonds of some offerings flying out the window, printing in just one session.

Tallying the upgrades and downgrades for asset-backed vehicles each quarter always yields a mixed bag of emotions. In the CDO sector, however, 1Q 2003 will shine particularly bright - collateralized debt obligations racked up the only upgrades seen over the last three months. Furthermore, they were unseated as the leader in downgrades.

rWhat's an extra half a mill amongst friends? Investors who bought into the Clinton Group's most recent CDO, Mulberry Street II, nearly unseated a PIMCO-backed deal as the largest ABS CDO reportedly to come to market. Weighing in at $700 million in size, Mulberry II was just a couple of grand away from tipping the scale over.

Standard & Poor's downgraded 14 classes of auto lease ABS issued by Mitsubishi Motor Credit of America last week, due to greater-than-expected defaults of the captive lender's zero-down, zero-interest and zero-payments for 15 months subvention loan strategy. The balloon payment loans had long given investors concerns, for which Mitsubishi had paid up with significant spread premiums in the primary market.

Spreads for DVI Inc. medical equipment lease ABS have widened significantly since accounting firm Deloitte & Touche announced it was stepping down as its independent auditor, which triggered ratings actions from all three rating agencies on the issuer's corporate unsecured debt. With the market asking whether this was the beginning of a blowup, or a buy opportunity, spreads on some classes of recently priced ABS widened by as much as 40 to 50 basis points on the bid side.
