KBRA Downgrades Five Ratings and Affirms All Other Ratings for JPMCC 2017-JP5
17 Feb 2026 | New York
KBRA downgrades the ratings of five classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of JPMCC 2017-JP5, a $752.1 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 rating action in March 2025, including an increase in KBRA's estimated losses for five K-LOCs (28.3% of the pool balance). The ratings also consider the likelihood of interest shortfalls continuing and affecting classes higher in the capital structure while the servicer resolves the transaction’s specially serviced assets.
As of the January 2026 remittance period, there are four specially serviced assets (21.5%), of which one is REO (0.9%), one is in foreclosure (7.4%), one is 90 days delinquent (8.2%) and one is non-performing matured (5.1%). KBRA identified eight K-LOCs (38.9%), including the specially serviced assets. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below.
Excluding K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction’s WA KLTV is 78.7% compared to 79.4% at last review and 96.8% at securitization. The KDSC is 1.97x compared to 2.05x at last review and 1.82x at securitization.
Details concerning the classes with ratings changes are as follows:
- Class B to A (sf) from AA+ (sf)
- Class C to BB (sf) from A (sf)
- Class D to CCC (sf) from BBB- (sf)
- Class D-RR to CC (sf) from B- (sf)
- Class E-RR to C (sf) from CC (sf)
