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.

Valuation

COMMENT

Has been in a downward trend. Look for signs that it is trying to bottom.

COMMENT

Preferred shares: Any danger of dividends being cut or delayed? Have a very good Canadian retail franchise. Also have exposure to the US in structured products and have taken huge losses and there is probably still more to come. Doesn't think they will cut the dividends.

COMMENT

Not a fan of management. Really got knocked down in the last 1.5 years relative to the other banks. Doesn't have the same level of risk because of what happened in the past. Probably the least riskiest of the banks.

TRADE

Bank with the greatest risk. The rescue package in the US could have a direct effect on CIBC.

BUY

Upgraded by RBC and Nesbitt Burns. Still write offs to come. Most depressed of Canadian banks.

TOP PICK

Buy CIBC and Sell CIBC Jan 64 Calls. A basic “Call Right” on CIBC. One of the more volatile banks. The options trade at the highest premiums. The $64 level is kind of attractive. The return on this is about 8% between now and January if it is above $64.

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) The Canadian bank that has performed the worst and will rebound the most.

DON'T BUY

Has a well-deserved reputation of being the riskiest bank in Canada.

WAIT

(Market Call Minute.) Still facing some headwinds. If you are looking at this one, wait until they actually report.

COMMENT

Had very disappointing performance this year but is not remotely in danger of failure.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 31/07. Down 35%.) Current valuation is ridiculous. This is a retail bank and retail is 70%-75% of their operations. Should earn over $7 in cash earnings this year and $7.50 next year. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 12/07. Down 44%.) Ended up with more impact on the US side than expected. Odds are they're going to have to take another $1 billion or so write-downs again. Sold some of his holdings. Looking for better times once we are through this difficult period. Always buys this as a pairs trade with Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T)

DON'T BUY

Has traded up underneath the point that it has broken down on the last leg down. Expect this will pose some resistance technically.

COMMENT

(Put Options) A Put is protecting your downside, which is a wise move. (Like buying insurance on your stock.) Not a fan of banks right now. You might consider HBP Global Gold Bear (HFD-T), which is a great way to short the Canadian Financial industry.

DON'T BUY

Situation is deteriorating. There are consistent lower revisions to the earnings estimates. Probably the weakest technically of the Canadian banks. Difficult sector. He is Short this company.
