Sumario:A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson has been performed by the CMS Collaboration, with the full dataset delivered by the LHC during the 2011, in a wide spectrum of channels. The statistical combination of the results allows to exclude a wide region of its mass at 95\% confidence level: 127.5 -- 600~GeV/c$^2$. A modest excess at about 125~GeV/c$^2$ is observed, with a significance of 1.6~$\sigma$ in the range 110 -- 150~GeV/c$^2$. More data are needed to ascertain the origin of the observed excess.
