Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) has garnered a mix of optimism and caution among analysts. The bank has shown impressive earnings growth, reporting a 28% increase in net income, mainly due to its U.S.-based operations. Experts appreciate the bank's financial discipline with growing cash reserves, debt reduction, and share buybacks. While some analysts see a strong potential for growth driven by infrastructure and energy development, others express concerns regarding its heavy reliance on the Canadian consumer amid a potentially fragile economic environment. The consensus on the stock's valuation is divided, with some experts suggesting it is fully valued while others propose it has room for upward movement.

Consensus

Mixed

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

BUY

Had never been a recommendation of his. Owned it about 5 years ago. Because of the people running it, it was no surprise to him as to what happened but he bought it last month. His model price is $79.47, a 12% differential.

HOLD

Banks are overpriced and there are better opportunities elsewhere, so he wouldn't buy, but for the individual investor they are good stocks to own.

WEAK BUY

Banking sector would be his favourite for the long term. The historical 10 year return for the banking sector was 13%. Would love the entry point to be a little lower, but not a long term place to be. This one is presently at a sale price, but you might have to wait for a while.

TOP PICK

There could be a few more wrinkles or imperfections, but management is on the right track. Will eventually be taken over by somebody else.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like the $50 million payout package to the CEO. The dividend will keep the stock from falling too far. Will be dead money for a couple of years.

DON'T BUY

In the penalty box. This bank has had the poorest management going back 20 years. Has sold at a discount and should continue to do that.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 9.05. Up 2.5%.) Likes all the Canadian banks. The Enron event was a one time and knocked $7 off the stock price. Thinks the sell-off was overdone.

TOP PICK

Whenever there is a pullback like this on any financials, fill your briefs. This is the closest thing to a no-brainer. Paying a 3.8% yield while you wait. Earnings growth will not be great, but will be an obvious target if there are any take overs.

WEAK BUY

Over the last couple of years, his model price has constantly moved up with all the banks. Pretty well likes all the banks except for the Commerce (CM-T). However with the recent drop in price, it is starting to look interesting.

HOLD

(Preferred A)Thinks there may be rating consequences to this settlement. Doesn't think the preferreds are in any danger.

TOP PICK

Stock is at reasonable price now for a long term hold, but not a short term. Likes their strategy of moving more into the consumer space. Should have less volatility moving forward. His strategy is to buy January 2007 $75 call and you'll probably get a bounce and then take your profits real quickly.

BUY

Financials have rallied because interest rates have stayed stable. The question is will bank stocks get cheaper when interst rates rise. Doesn't thinks so because they are still trading at reasonable valuations of 12/13 X earnings. You are still earning 3/4%.

BUY

Sure this stock will split. Most of the banks do when they get up around $80. Likes the banks in general. This one has gone back to more of consumer lending.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 28/05. Up 4%.) Likes the long term prospects for the financial idustry, banks in particular.

DON'T BUY

In the aggregate, banks have done very little this year. They are all trading at 55 year valuation highs. There's no fair market valuation support for them to go much higher.
