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 PFG's superior profitability (Net Margin 9.7%, EBITDA Margin 13.0%) and solid Piotroski F-Score (7/9) are sustainable, then buy up to the implied P/E PFG ($98.96) because those fundamentals support the modest 4.5% upside; otherwise remain neutral given higher relative sales/EV multiples (P/S 1.3x, EV/Revenue 1.3x) and slower Revenue Growth (18.0%).
PFG's current price ($94.73) is modestly below PRU-implied P/E price ($98.96), implying a 4.5% upside. The valuation gap is small and driven more by differences in revenue and enterprise multiples than by P/E alone.
