KBRA downgrades the ratings of six classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of WFCM 2020-C55, a $919.7 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a worsening in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in February 2024. The rating actions also reflect KBRA’s estimated losses for five K-LOCs (12.6% of the pool balance) and the resulting loss adjusted C/E levels.

As of the January 2026 remittance report, there are two specially serviced loans (6.5% of the pool balance), one (2.1%) of which is 90+ days delinquent. KBRA identified seven K-LOCs (14.5%) including the specially serviced loans. Of the K-LOCs, five (12.6%) have estimated losses. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:
