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.

RY
DON'T BUY
Likes the banks and financial stocks but not this bank. Not a fan of management and doesn't see a strategy coming out from them. Incredibly overvalued compared to the other banks.
DON'T BUY
Not one of the best banks. If you want excitement, this is not where to be. Prefers National Bank (NA-T), Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) or Royal Bank (RY-T).
BUY
In banks, he likes to Toronto Dominion (TD-T), Bank of Montréal (BMO-T) and feels that The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM-T) has potential.
TOP PICK
Feels the banks are incredibly cheap going forward. This is the cheapest at 11.7 X next year's earnings. Yield of about 3.5%.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 8/06. Up 1%.) Not his favourite bank, but at the time was his favourite stock as it had been lagging.
TOP PICK
A great story going forward. Yield of about 3.4%. Cheap compared to the TSE price earnings ratios for this year and next year. Expects 10% capital appreciation.
DON'T BUY
Earnings made by US brokerages have been very positive so she thinks the financial services are interesting here. Not sure if this one has dealt with all the issues and tends to be the one with negative surprises.
DON'T BUY
His least favourite bank. Got overvalued. Historically, they have been the bank taking the big leap into the wrong places at the wrong time.
HOLD
All the Canadian banks are reasonably well run. Over the long term, they will make you some money. New management is being really careful with their capital. Quite happy to give it to shareholders through dividends. Have been pulling back from risks.
DON'T BUY
Not one of his favourite banks. Historically has been the poorest managed of Canadian banks. Had a big run in the last couple of years and probably got overvalued. Most recent quarterly results were not that great.
TOP PICK
Had a small downturn which is what he is focusing on. Their last quarter had negative revenue. New management is saying they are not going to focus on revenue but on the bottom line. The market has to come to grips with this. He is convinced they are going to do it.
BUY
Banks are giving good yields and are off 10% from their peaks. Trades at 12 X earnings which is on par with US banks. Bad loans dropped by over $200 million in the last year. Have some good cost control in place now.
DON'T BUY
Made quite a bit of a comeback from the depths it had fallen to in the early days of the Enron fiasco. Recent earnings were good, but they weren't fabulous. Market looks at the advantages the other banks have and moves to them instead.
WEAK BUY
Working on getting there retail franchise better. The new management is much less like the old management which was very risky. The last acquisition was made at a good level. A little bit of “wait and see”.
DON'T BUY
The new enhanced dividend tax credit will be good for all the banks. A dividend of 3% will leave you with after-tax of 2.4% which is equivalent to a bond yield of about 4.75%. Had a terrific run which he thinks is just about done. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) and others.
