Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) has enjoyed a strong run over the past year.

Atop a big leap in the CBA share price in the last 12 months, the bank also pays a trailing dividend yield of 3.18% fully franked.

But how has CommBank performed compared to its 3 biggest peers?

How has the CBA share price performed compared to its peers?

You won't find shareholders complaining about CommBank's performance over the past 12 months. Or at least, you shouldn't!

In fact, the CBA share price gains sit right at the top the leader board when compared to the other 3 dominant Aussie banks.

Over the past 12 months, CommBank shares have gained 50.6%.

National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB) comes in number 2. The NAB share price is up 41.9% since this time last year. NAB pays a trailing dividend yield of 3.11%.

Coming in at number 3 is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ASX: ANZ). ANZ shares have gained 38.9% over 12 months. The bank pays a trailing dividend yield of 3.65%.

And at number 4, with a still respectable 22.4% share price gain, is Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC). And Westpac easily leads its competitors when it comes to dividends, with a trailing dividend yield of 6.52%.

CBA's share price gain tops the board. But it's worth noting that all big 4 banks outperformed the 17% gain posted by the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) over this same period. And that's without including their dividends.

Is CommBank still good value?

Following an almost 51% increase in the CBA share price over the past full year, investors may be wondering if the bank still presents good value.

The answer to that question varies depending on who you ask.

While there are a few bearish brokers and analysts reporting on CommBank, Kardinia Capital's portfolio manager Kristiaan Rehder is not among them.

In an interview with The Motely Fool (which will be published in its entirety next week), Rehder said:

CBA has had strong core volumes growth, which is being maintained.

It's really dominating in the home lending and the retail deposit market. It has very strong overall net interest margins, with high asset quality. The capitalisation rate is undeniable. We believe that CBA remains the highest quality name in the banking sector.
