Tangible book and profitability anchor a bank, not enterprise value.
Deposits and cash-like balances distort enterprise value for banks, so this section reads equity value, tangible book and profitability instead.

If you believe AXP can sustain its current profitability while closing the growth gap to BLK, then holding or selectively buying AXP makes sense because it trades at a lower P/E and P/S despite upside to the P/E-implied price.
AXP trades at 22.2x P/E versus BLK at 32.2x, while the provided P/E-based implied price for AXP is $494.98 versus the current $340.91. That suggests meaningful upside on this framework, but the valuation gap is tempered by BLK's stronger revenue growth and cleaner balance sheet.
