THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK DBRS Morningstar assigned the rating equal to the Bank's Intrinsic Assessment of AA less four rating notches, which is consistent with DBRS Morningstar's standard notching for capital instruments with contingent risks and its ratings for the Bank's NVCC Preferred Shares. This is one notch below the rating of TD's NVCC Subordinated Debt.
RATING DRIVERS
Given TD's high rating level, an upgrade of the ratings is unlikely. Ratings would be downgraded if there were a sustained deterioration in asset quality, especially if it were related to deficiencies in risk management. Additionally, a sustained weakening of profitability metrics would also result in a downgrade of ratings.
