Summary A wide range of Higgs production and decay modes have been analyzed with CMS data. All measured signal strengths and properties are in agreement with expectation for a standard model Higgs boson. The mass measurements are consistent across channels. Precision Higgs physics is opening the door to new territories. Large amounts of luminosity are now needed to reveal the nature of the new boson and its role in fundamental physics. 39
