On CAPS, 89% of the 320 members who have rated CIBC believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, stocky5, succinctly summed up the CIBC bull case for our community: "Oversold and undervalued. [Thomson/First Call] Price Target is $96.06. Dividend is attractive, yielding over 4%. Canadian banking industry is more stable than the U.S. banking industry. Excellent long term holding."

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite its four-star rating, CIBC may not be your top choice.
