CIBC’s exposure to mortgage market raises concerns
– moneysense.ca
TORONTO – CIBC’s exposure to the residential mortgage market has increased, raising concerns among some analysts who say it comes at a time when Canada’s real estate market is at risk of a correction.
But the bank said its loan delinquencies remain low and stable, including in the hot housing markets of Toronto and Vancouver.
Edward Jones analyst Jim Shanahan says CIBC’s (TSX:CM) portfolio of uninsured mortgage and home equity loans is 5.4 times its regulatory capital.
That’s up from a year ago, when CIBC’s mortgage loan book was 4.7 times its regulatory capital, said Shanahan, adding that the bank is more at risk in the event of a correction than its peers.
