Price framework
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 DFS can sustain its much stronger margin profile while re-rating closer to the DCF range, then favor DFS; if you believe COF’s faster 36.6% revenue growth deserves a persistently premium multiple, then the relative case stays mixed rather than decisively bullish.
The valuation setup is ambiguous because DFS has no current market price or explicit P/E, while COF trades at 51.9x P/E and 2.4x P/S. The provided implied price for DFS of $919.02 sits well above the DCF range of $494.54-$669.09 and above COF-implied range midpoint, but the absence of DFS market multiples limits conviction.
