CIBC defends U.S. strategy
Article Abstract:
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) is being criticized for its aggressive strategy to compete on the territory of Wall Street's major investment banks. The critics gained strength after CIBC said its latest quarterly profit will greatly fall short of expectations, mostly due to lower revenue and higher than expected costs in its US equity business. Meanwhile, company executives maintain confidence on their November 1997 acquisition of Wall Street brokerage Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. The executives said there have been no adverse surprises at Oppenheimer, whose shortcoming they were fully aware of during the acquisition.
