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 MA’s superior margin structure and faster revenue growth can persist, then a modest accumulation or hold makes sense because the stock is only 6.9% below the P/E-implied value and still shows stronger operating efficiency than AAPL.
MA’s current price of $562.95 sits 6.9% below the P/E-implied value of $602.03, suggesting only limited upside on that basis. The comparison is complicated by very different valuation profiles: MA trades at 34.1x P/E versus AAPL at 36.4x, but MA’s 2.1x P/S is far below AAPL’s 11.0x, indicating the market assigns a much higher revenue multiple to AAPL.
