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’s faster revenue growth and higher net margin can persist without further deterioration in quality or leverage, then hold rather than add aggressively because the stock already trades at a premium P/E and P/S versus GS and GS-based model implies 9.2% downside.
AXP trades above GS on a relative earnings and sales basis, with a 21.9x P/E versus GS at 19.8x and a 5.5x P/S versus 3.7x. The provided implied price of $305.20 is 9.2% below the current price of $336.25, suggesting the market is pricing AXP above GS-based estimate.
