The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) has been receiving favorable reviews from various analysts, emphasizing its solid positioning within the Canadian banking sector. Analysts highlight the bank's impressive earnings growth, particularly driven by a strong performance in its U.S. business and a healthy profit margin. With increasing cash reserves and a strategy of retiring debt and buying back shares, CIBC appears primed for continued success. However, some analysts caution about its reliance on the Canadian consumer and potential economic risks, especially in the context of interest rate fluctuations. Overall, there is optimistic sentiment about CIBC's ability to leverage opportunities in infrastructure and energy development, alongside the potential impacts of government fiscal initiatives.
Canadian banks have gotten very cheap now. CIBC has a US presence but it’s mainly in Canada. RBC has more resources with a global presence. He thinks that banks are still a good place to be. Would be buying Royal Bank and TD.
CIBC vs CN Rail for income? He would be getting out of all the Canadian rails at this point. The banks are also getting hurt. Negative interest rate curves are a warning that something ugly is going to happen. The GDP will fall and interest rates will begin to rise. He would therefore buy into CM-T and drop CNR-T.
