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 TGT can reaccelerate revenue growth and sustain its current margin profile, then the stock can be treated as modestly attractive versus AXP because it trades at a lower P/E and P/S while sitting below the P/E-implied value.
TGT trades at 18.4x P/E versus AXP at 22.2x, yet the comparison is difficult because AXP operates with a very different margin structure and much higher profitability. On the provided valuation work, TGT’s current price of $149.70 sits below the implied price of $180.21, suggesting roughly 20.4% upside, but the broader valuation ranges are mixed.
