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.

COMMENT
Likes this one relative to its peers. Has had an earnings recovery. Feels there is some risk in banks overall. He has been lightening up on his bank positions.
HOLD
Have great focus on the retail banking and wealth management business. They would like to see their fund business improve. A good, sort of, total return holding, but won't shoot the lights out. Good dividend but its growth will be slower than the past.
DON'T BUY
Has probably gone from the worst performing bank to the best. Getting very pricey.
COMMENT
The most volatile of all the banks. Not his favourite bank. Valuation of Canadian banks is generally pretty expensive.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 6/06. Up 22.7%.) Still likes and still has legs.
DON'T BUY
Would be afraid of this based on its past. Had a great run, but historically it’s tripped up.
BUY
The Bank of Commerce (CM-T) and the National Bank (NA-T) both have some upside potential based on his Fair Market Value calculation.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 26/06. Up 7.3%.) Favourite bank stock, along with TD (TD-T). Strong management. Still buying.
TOP PICK
Solid dividend yield. A good story for 2007. Has greater exposure to capital markets than the other banks.
DON'T BUY
Banks are great long-term investments. Historically they increase their dividends every year. This is his least favourite.
TOP PICK
Has one of the best yields and is the cheapest of the big 5’s. Management is making this into a more conservative vehicle and there will be fewer negative surprises. Banks, in relation to the market, are generally selling at a discount.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 7/06. Up 6%.) Still likes. Has the most capital exposure out of the banks, so will be a little more volatile. Track record going forward will be pretty good.
BUY
Three favourite banks are the Commerce (CM-T), Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and the Royal (RY-T). This one has already paid out its Enron liability.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 15/05. Up 10.3%.) The cheapest and one of the best yields. Would still buy. Banks are one of his favourite groups. Good yields. Loan loss provisions have been declining.
DON'T BUY
He generally likes banks, but this would not be his top choice. Feels it is losing market share.
