Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Growth Bank. Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is probably reasonable and below the median. Debt Ratios are fine. The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. The current dividend yield is good with dividend growth low. See my spreadsheet on Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce .

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? Even though this stock is off the lowest of 2023, it is still quite reasonably priced. This is not my favourite bank; however, shareholders have done reasonably well with this bank (see total return chart below). It is on the Money Sense Dividend and Dividend Aristocrat lists that I follow. Stock price testing says the stock price is reasonable and below the median.

I do not own this stock of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX-CM, NYSE-CM). This was the only major Canadian Bank I was not following. I thought I should so I started to track this stock in 2017.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that since its low in October 2023, the stock price of this bank has climbed 27%. Year to date, this bank is down around 4%.

The stock would be worth $1,419.10. Your total return would have been $2,041.02. This is a total return would be a total return of 8.48% per year with 3.45% from capital gain and 5.01% from dividends. These calculations take into consideration stock splits.
