By Alex · Tickerpine
American Tower Corporation vs Realty Income Corporation, side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.

| Market cap | $81.81B | $58.86B |
| P/E ratio | 28.3 | 51.7 |
| ROE | 29.95% | 2.83% |

| Revenue growth | 6.80% | 12.00% |
| Dividend yield | 3.98% | 5.15% |
