This summary was created by AI, based on 19 opinions in the last 12 months.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), with the ticker symbol CM-T, has garnered substantial interest from analysts, many of whom deem it a solid investment prospect. Recent earnings reports indicate a notable 28% increase in net income, bolstered by a 55% surge in U.S. operations. CIBC exhibits strong financial fundamentals, such as growing cash reserves, a healthy profit margin of around 27%, and an impressive 16% return on equity (ROE). However, experts also express caution regarding its heavy exposure to the Canadian consumer market, particularly in the residential mortgage sector, which could pose risks amidst a potential recession. Overall, while some analysts recommend a strategic increase in investment, opinions are divided regarding the timing and valuation of this stock in the broader market context.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Would prefer it closer to $60-$61. This is probably the one Canadian bank with the greatest upside potential.
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.
