CBA share price Investors wary of calling end to Commonwealth
Fund managers at Investors Mutual and Australian Eagle say there isn’t an obvious trigger to stop the Commonwealth Bank rally.

Commonwealth Bank can do no wrong by the sharemarket and put more distance between its ballooning valuation and blue-chip stablemates such as CSL and BHP with its latest profit update.

CBA’s share price defied the assurances of stockbrokers that Australia’s largest lender is wildly overvalued and claimed a fresh record high on Wednesday. It jumped 2.4 per cent to $165.98, with the market heartened by record home lending, ultra-low bad debts and a $2.25 a share fully franked interim dividend. As for profit growth? That was 2 per cent year-on-year, to $5.1 billion.
