CIBC (CM:CA) (CM)

Analyst Updates

Scotiabank raised its 12 month target price to $123.00 from $121.00, while reiterating its Outperform rating.  Scotiabank sees moderate upside potential driven by stabilizing credit trends, improving capital ratios, and expectations for better earnings momentum relative to peers.

Jefferies also revised its outlook upward, lifting its target price to $118.00 from $106.00, but maintained a Hold rating. This signals that while Jefferies still view the stock as fairly valued at current levels.

Raymond James set its target price at $127.00 and assigned a Market Perform rating.  Their higher target price, however, places CIBC slightly above the consensus, implying that Raymond James sees some near-term valuation support even if the broader outlook remains balanced.

Stock Forecast

The latest indicators present a mixed but nuanced outlook for the stock. From a technical analysis perspective, the stock is rated with “Strong Buy” indicator, reflecting bullish momentum in price trends, strengthening support levels, and positive short-term trading signals. This suggests that, based on chart patterns and market behavior alone, the stock may continue to outperform in the near term.

However, analyst sentiment is more moderate, with a consensus “Buy” rating. The average target price is $114 per share, which represents a projected downside of approximately 5% from the current trading levels, indicating the  stock is at fair value.

Overall, the combined indicators point to a scenario where short-term momentum remains strong, but analysts believe the stock may be slightly overheated and could consolidate or pull back toward its target price unless new catalysts emerge.
