Berkshire Hathaway Inc. vs Citigroup Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.

|---|---|---|
| Price | $592.94 | $124.01 |
| Market cap | $1.26T | $205.26B |
| P/E ratio | 16.6 | 12.1 |

| Revenue growth | 11.20% | 8.00% |
| Dividend yield | 0.00% | 2.16% |

Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
