Fitch Affirms 4 Classes of Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2014-SN2

September 23, 2015 11:42 AM EDT

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has affirmed four classes of notes issued by Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2014-SN2. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of the notes reflects the increase in credit enhancement since closing and strong collateral performance. Credit losses have been well within Fitch's expectations, and residual performance has been producing cumulative gains.

Fitch will continue to monitor economic conditions and their impact and the trust level performance variables and update the ratings accordingly.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults or deterioration in vehicle values could produce loss levels higher than the current expectations and impact available loss coverage. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage.

To date, the transaction has exhibited strong credit and residual performance, well within Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage. Due to the growing credit enhancement levels and increased loss coverage afforded to the notes, a substantial deterioration in used vehicle values would have to occur to have a negative impact on the updated ratings.

Fitch's stress and rating sensitivity analyses are discussed in the presale report titled 'Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2014-SN2 (US ABS)', dated Oct. 10, 2014 and available on Fitch's web site.
