This summary was created by AI, based on 18 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

HOLD
Canadian Imperial (CM-T) or National Bank (NA-T). Which would you sell? As Canadian Imperial have cleared up their problems, it has become a well-run Canadian retail bank and probably the one with the best 2-3 year outlook. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T)
TRADE
Capital markets have been hot, vs. retail markets.
BUY
Attractively priced and likes some of their management. Thinks the stock will perform better than some of its peers.
BUY
They have fortified their balance sheet against dividend cuts. It has under performed. We always feel that the worst is over. If you line it up with the other banks, it looks cheaper.
DON'T BUY
Canadian bank stocks are pretty fully valued but he doesn’t have any interest.
TOP PICK
9.976% bond maturing June 30/19. Price is a bit expensive at $126 so it may not appeal to individual investors. A safer way than using the common stocks as it puts you higher up on the structure. In balanced portfolio he would use a different bank for the stocks.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Banks have had a massive recovery since the March lows. This one has lagged. There are a lot of disbelievers as to whether they can get it turned around.
DON'T BUY
She has a Short position on this bank. Her least favourite financial.
DON'T BUY
Canadian banks are no longer inexpensive. Have had a great run. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) and Royal Bank (RY-T) and would buy these on a pullback.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sep 19/08 Up 23.95%) CIBC with option.
TOP PICK
Tier-1 9.976% bond maturing June 30/19. Rated A and yielding about 300 basis points over Canada. This bank is working on back to basics reducing their wholesale risks.
DON'T BUY
His favourite is Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) because of its exposure to Latin America and lack of exposure to the US.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
6.43% is the highest yield in Canadian banks. Looking at buying this but below $50.
DON'T BUY
While the banks have had a wonderful rally off the bottom he would be significantly underweight on the financials as it is hard to see where earnings growth comes from. Good revenues in the recent quarter but generally there will continue to be erosion in the credit quality.
HOLD
A little disappointed with their last earnings release so he is having a good hard look at the position. Reasonable multiple and reasonable yield. Would prefer Toronto Dominion (TD-T).
