Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on CIBC (NYSE: CM) price target raised from CAD$78 to CAD$79.

Analyst, John Aiken, said, "CIBC generated another solid quarter on the back of continued strong cost containment. However, the market appears unwilling to give it full credit for this outperformance..."

NOTE - shares popped jumped a dollar yesterday, but are trading down $1.52 (-2.19%) today.

Aiken concluded by saying, "While a potential dividend increase was alluded to on the conference call, we do not believe that CM's valuation will trade above the peer average until it begins a stronger capital repatriation program with shareholders."

Barclays raised FY12 EPS estimates from $7.70 to $7.93 and FY13 from $8.04 to $8.26.
