The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) is viewed as a strong prospect, particularly in light of potential benefits from infrastructure and energy growth within the Canadian economy. With a current earnings multiple of 15x, a book value of 2.4x, and a robust return on equity (ROE) of 16%, analysts are optimistic about its performance. Cash reserves are increasing, and the company's responsible financial management includes aggressive share buybacks and debt reductions. However, the bank faces risks due to its heavy exposure to Canadian consumers and residential mortgages, especially amid recessionary concerns. While some experts express caution given the entire Canadian banking sector’s high valuations, many still see CM as a solid investment with upside potential, maintaining positive outlooks due to favorable market conditions.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

BUY

Has completed an A B C correction and the trend line is intact. Has a lot of volume. Thinks it goes higher.

HOLD

Don’t buy any more until the $72 area. Be patient. It has a 10% upside, but it is above its model price.

HOLD

When the market was hitting its low in 2009, all the bank stocks hit a low and started a new up leg. Then developed an upward trending channel. We are now 2 years into the bull market when banks some times start to slow down. Be aware that it s not going to have the same exciting move as it did moving from $37 to $70. Keep an eye on the 200 day moving average, which it is still above.

TOP PICK

Has the highest dividend and the cheapest valuation and banks do tend to revert to the mean, so that those that underperform, tend to pull up their socks. Looks very good on a technical basis. Over 4% yield.

WATCH

Banks have recovered nicely from the bottom and have good earnings visibility. This is the year when they will start increasing their dividends. This one is going through an internal transformation and is de-risking their business. Talking about expanding into global markets so watch to see how they do.

WAIT

Would like to see them get their act together a bit more. Get rid of some of the overhang questions that relate to write offs, etc.

COMMENT

Looking for a dividend increases in the 1st half of the year but is probably already largely built into the stock price. There could be a slight stock price increase when this happens.

BUY

Getting more positive on this bank. Banks will see slower growth in earnings. Of the Big 5, those with better domestic operations will do better and this is one of the best.

BUY

Cdn banks have lagged. Expects there will be increases in bank dividends but not until well into 2011, except for Toronto Dominion (TD-T), which will be the first to go. This one is fine but would not be her Top 2 banks. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Within the Big 5, Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and CIBC (CM-T) are his favourites. This one has a very decent dividend. If you are looking for dividend growth, look at TD who will increase their dividends by about 8.5% per year over the next 3 years. CIBC is looking at about 3.7%.

COMMENT

Assessing risk management relative to other banks? Great question, particularly for this bank. Had a relatively poor showing last 10-15 years. Trades at a discount multiple because of this. Now an opportunity since they have now exited all those other riskier businesses.

DON'T BUY

Not crazy about banks from an earnings standpoint. Housing market is slowing down, which is a big part of their loan books. Doesn't expect unusual performance out of any of them. Least expensive bank so has the highest yield.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is the bank that everyone loves to hate. Made its share of tactical errors over time. Sell at somewhat of a discount to the group. Have more leverage in their earnings. Can earn $7.50 a share over the next couple of years. Thinks he will see more capital appreciation.

TOP PICK

Banks will have excess capital so should be able to crank up dividends. This one is forecast to have $6.37 earnings for Oct/10 year growing to $7.80 for 2011. PE to growth of about 8X. ROE 22.6% on forecast earnings. 4.7% yield.

BUY

With exception of Royal (RY-T) banks are doing fairly well. Chart shows a beautiful downtrend line that the stock broke through recently. Banks should participate between now and the end of the year.
