  • Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce Stock May Be 25% Undervalued After Fund Changes
    June 20, 2026, 10:54 PM EDT. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM) announced ending its Sustainable Investment Strategies ETF and raised risk on its Dividend Income Fund, prompting a reassessment by shareholders. The stock rose to CA$160.31, up 23.81% over 90 days and 180.41% over five years. Analysts' consensus price target sits slightly below the current price at CA$155.18, suggesting fair valuation based on earnings and risk outlook. However, a discounted cash flow model values the stock at CA$213.42, indicating a potential undervaluation of about 25%. Key risks include heavy Canadian mortgage exposure and rising regulatory costs that may pressure profits. Investors are weighing whether the market has fully priced in future growth potential or if CIBC represents a buying opportunity.
