CIBC's Mortgage Growth Cools as Profit Beats Estimates
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is no longer such an outlier on mortgages. CIBC’s rapid expansion of Canadian home loans has eased, bringing it more in line with the industry and ending a two-year streak of outpacing the nation’s other big banks. Mortgage balances rose 6 percent to C$208.2 billion ($161.6 billion) in the fiscal second quarter from a year earlier, the Toronto-based bank said Wednesday in announcing earnings that beat analysts’ estimates.
