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.

This explanation uses an earlier data snapshot or evidence version. Review its generation date and the current figures, or refresh after signing in.
If you believe FDS can reaccelerate growth or expand margins toward a higher-quality SaaS-like profile, then the stock can justify upside from the current P/E discount; otherwise, the faster growth and superior profitability of MA make FDS look only fairly valued, not clearly cheap, on the full set of metrics.
FDS trades at 16.9x P/E versus MA at 34.7x, which is a large headline discount and drives the 105.0% implied upside in the model. However, the market is also assigning FDS a higher P/S ratio than MA, suggesting the lower earnings multiple is not a pure bargain signal given the different margin and growth profiles.
