Is Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce under- or over-valued?

Valuing Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's P/E ratio

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares trade at around 12x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's PEG ratio

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.11. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares can be evaluated.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares traded daily (recently around 605099.82014388).

In other words for every 100,000 Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5560 shares are currently held short.

However Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares, or, against the total number of tradable Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0075% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shares, roughly 8 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
