This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), symbol CM-T, has garnered mixed reviews from analysts. While some experts highlight the bank's strong positioning and recent growth, particularly with its middle-class consumer focus and involvement in new government initiatives like the Defense, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB), there are concerns over its heavy reliance on Canadian markets and consumer mortgages. Several analysts suggest it might not be the right time to significantly invest more in Canadian banks due to high valuations and potential economic fragility across Canada. Nonetheless, the bank has shown promising earnings growth and supports a healthy dividend, indicating a balanced performance amid caution towards the broader market's volatility. The consensus is to exercise discipline while taking advantage of strategic entry points.

DON'T BUY

With little US or international exposure, heavily tilted toward Canadian consumers and residential mortgages, which is a risk in a potential recession.

Our PAST TOP PICK with CM has achieved its target at $154.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and maintaining the stop at $127.  

WEAK BUY

Turnaround story looks real. Traded at a discount for years, now catering to the middle class consumer. Possibly more near-term upside due to valuation.

Our PAST TOP PICK with CM is stagnating.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $117) to $127 at this time.

SELL

After a good run last year, banks have had a bit of a pullback. This one has a weird propensity to do something dumb (another technical term ;) and shoot itself in the foot more than the others.

His favourite is RY.

BUY
If Trump rips up CUSMA and replaces them with tariffs

We're speculating what will happen. Last year, most of the Canadian area was protected from tariffs because of CUSMA. The US would be paying more for our goods through tariffs; they buy many of our goods. Banks are at the tail end of their elevated provisions and their stocks have done quite well as interest rates have declined. The Bank of Canada has signalled it may hold rates for a while, but the government has released more fiscal support and opening more trade channels, which are good. She remains bullish banks.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

CM is one of five Canadian banks who have partnered to create the Defense, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB) designed to provide funding to the Government of Canada's commitment to boost military spending.  We think the DSRB will create another avenue for business growth in the years to come.  It trades at 16x earnings, 2.1x book and supports a 14% ROE.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio at 45% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $117, looking to achieve $154 -- upside potential of 15%.  Yield 3.0%    

(Analysts’ price target is $130.77)
BUY

PARTIAL SELL

Whole Canadian banking sector is fully valued, trading effectively at record highs on valuation. Not time to load up. Time to take some profits and invest in more defensive names, as Canadian economy is on a more fragile footing than other parts of the world.

BUY

The new infrastructure projects that Ottawa has announced will benefit the banks. NA is more Canadian than CIBC, though both are. Big projects need a lot of funding, and the banks' job is to find that capital. CM is pretty well priced now.

WEAK BUY

Prefers this one and remaining peers today to RY, just on valuation. Though RY is the best bank in Canada, this name trades at a far better multiple.

PARTIAL SELL

Canadian bank stocks have been trading at their highest valuations that he can recall in 30 years. The Canadian/Mexican/U.S. trade agreement is coming up for renewal next year. Will the Trump administration extend the terms or not. This is an important question. Could be time to take profits.

BUY

The chart shows a V-shaped recovery since April's tariff worries. In Canada, interest rates have been cut aggressively, so the Canadian banks have skated through. Wealth management divisions are strong. Loan loss provisions are down. NA and RY are the best, but CM and BMO are reporting much better earnings, which catches his attention.

HOLD

Great performer. CEO retiring. Pretty good momentum. Likes the path they're on, brand has been revived. Question on Canadian consumer and credit, along with upcoming mortgage renewals. Cautious on all banks. Wait for a better entry point.
