The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) share price has officially pushed past the monumental $100-mark for the first time since August.
All eyes have been on the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) banking giant this week to see if it could surpass the milestone that it momentarily met on Tuesday.
The CBA share price is trading 0.47% higher at $100.25 at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, the ASX 200 has lifted 0.41% and the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) is up 0.25%.
So, what could be in store for the CBA share price now that it has returned to triple digits? Let's take a look.

Could the CBA share price push higher?
The CBA share price is in the green today and lifting to its highest point in two months.
And once again, it has surpassed the $100-mark. The stock hit triple digits for the first time ever in May 2021 before rocketing to an all-time high of $110.19 in November 2021.
Today, it remains around 10% off that record. But could CBA shares keep climbing to meet – or surpass –their previous high?
If you ask experts, they'd likely tell you not to get your hopes up.
Most are bearish on the CBA share price, with top broker Morgan Stanley tipping it to fall to $85.50, as per Livewire – a potential 14.7% tumble.
Though, not all are so sceptical. Credit Suisse expects it to lift to $102.80, my Fool colleague James reported late last month. The broker is also tipping the banking giant to up its dividends by 10% in financial year 2023.
The latest news likely bolstering hope for the biggest of the big four banks came from its far smaller peer, Bank of Queensland Limited (ASX: BOQ).
On releasing its full-year earnings last week the Queensland-based bank revealed its net interest margin (NIM) had lifted to 1.81% in the final quarter amid rising rates.
It's therefore presumable that other ASX 200 banks have also seen their NIMs increase, thereby upping their profits.
