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.

Valuation

Fair Value

DON'T BUY

Top 3 choices in banks for the long term would be Toronto Dominion (TD-T), Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) and Royal Bank (RY-T). Where this could be wrong is if the Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) gets taken over at some point and it would be thw big winner. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM-T) is not particularily cheap right now.

BUY

Canadian banks continue to offer good value on a medium time frame. If we were to see a rapid ratcheting up of interest rates, they would be vulnerable, but this is not expected. The banks offer reasonable value here.

TOP PICK

Has lagged the other banks over the last year or so. Reporting cash ROE's of around 20%. Have a really good prospect of dividend increase. Buy backs are continuing.

BUY

Banks are the cheapest in the financial area based on 12.2 to 12.8 X price earnings.

DON'T BUY

Chronically one of the worse performing of the Canadian banks. Feels that Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T), National Bank (NA-T) and Royal (RY-T) are more profitable, better organized and more efficient.

DON'T BUY

What happens in the US ultimately works its way into the Canadian market. US banks are having a very difficult time and are down about 7% year to date. Canadian banks have had good yield support, but they really are not making a lot of headway. They are basically trading sideways.

DON'T BUY

Bank stocks are starting to top which is not surprising. The bull market started in 2002 and we are 2 1/2 years into the bull market. That's usually the time bank stocks start to move down.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like the banks. They have just come off 52 week highs. Historically they always give you a chance to buy at some point and he is going to wait with his hands open at prices he is willing to pay. Wait until they get ugly.

BUY

Using P/E ratios, banks are among the cheapest in the financials. Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) are the cheapest followed by Toronto Dominion (TD-T) then by Royal (RY-T) and CIBC (CM-T). His favourite is Toronto Dominion. Michael Sprung, of his firm, likes Bank of Nova Scotia and CIBC.

BUY

Q: Buy Bank of Nova SCotia (BNS-T) or CIBC (CM-T)? A: Tough call. Would buy the one having the most negative press recently. It would probably be Bank of Nova Scotia because their Latin America holdings have been a bit of a drag. Really a coin toss.

TOP PICK

Not his favourite bank based on fundamentals, but his short term pick based on price. Has lagged. Going to report pretty decent earnings in the next week or so. Thinks that growth and dividend will give an increase in the double digits.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 2/04. Down 2%.) The amount of loans they have identified as being bad, they've reserved greater than all of them, so there's upside from that. Good exposure to the capital markets side. Trades at a multiple discount to the other banks.

HOLD

Not a favourite, but not a bad bank. Market is generally negative on the banks because they see the yield curve flattening in the US. In fact, the yield curve has steepend in Canada which is very positive for the banks.

DON'T BUY

Has been a poor performer in the banking group. CEO has not managed well. Had the 2nd best retail franchise next to the royal Bank and that has been destroyed and TD has a much better franchise. Has some good parts but are always trying to expand at the wrong time and in the wrong places. There are better banks.

HOLD

Has already run a long way. If the economy slows down, there's not a lot of silver bullets left in its gun. Credit cards are one of the jewels in their crown and there is a lot of competition in the credit card business. Could have support a couple of $'s down. Caution.
