By Alex · Tickerpine
Visa Inc. vs Citigroup Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | V | C |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $367.38 | $134.28 |
| Market cap | $689.70B | $225.25B |
| P/E ratio | 31.2 | 14.5 |
| ROE | 61.19% | 8.53% |
| Profit margin | 50.78% | 21.83% |
| Revenue growth | 14.40% | 15.50% |
| Dividend yield | 0.73% | 2.00% |
| Beta | 0.76 | 1.10 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
