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 GS can sustain its high profitability while narrowing the growth gap versus COF, then the current valuation looks attractive relative to COF because GS trades at a much lower P/E and materially higher margins.
On a P/E basis, GS trades at 19.8x versus COF at 51.9x, implying GS is much cheaper on current earnings. However, the provided implied price of $2661.64 versus the current $1018.38 suggests a very large upside that is not well anchored by the rest of the data, so the valuation signal should be treated cautiously.
