The adjusted efficiency ratio was 54.2% at the end of the reported quarter, down from 56.4% in the prior-year quarter. A decline in the efficiency ratio indicates an improvement in profitability.

Our Take on Canadian Imperial
Given high interest rates and decent loan demand, Canadian Imperial is likely to witness an improvement in revenues. However, a challenging operating backdrop and steadily increasing expenses remain near-term concerns.
