Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
Banks - Diversified · market cap $104.3b. 8% off the 52-week high of $124.86. Revenue growing +14%, comfortably above the S&P median. 3 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $118.90 (implying +4% upside).
Moat
Net margin 34% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 15% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. $104.3b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
Risk
Balance-sheet financial — book value, net interest margin, and credit loss provisions are the lever points; a rates regime change or a deterioration in the loan book moves the stock more than EPS does.
Horizon
1-3 yr $118.90 (3-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $174.07 at ~9% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $258.23 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Forward EPS estimate$8.08

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CM to earn is essentially unchanged. The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM): score, valuation & FAQ

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) is a Banks - Diversified company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (B+) and ROE (B+).

Is CM a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades CM on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by Rev (B+) and ROE (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade CM?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, CM isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on Rev (B+) and ROE (B+).

Is CM overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for CM — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in CM?

Balance-sheet financial — book value, net interest margin, and credit loss provisions are the lever points; a rates regime change or a deterioration in the loan book moves the stock more than EPS does.
