Dec 5 (Reuters) - Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ( CM )
reported a rise in fourth-quarter profit on Thursday, as
the lender set aside smaller rainy-day funds to cover potential
loan losses.
The bank's adjusted net income rose to C$1.89 billion
($1.34 billion), or C$1.91 per share, in the three months ended
Oct. 31, from C$1.52 billion, or C$1.57 per share, a year
earlier.
