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 | $425.76 | $124.01 |
| Market cap | $794.38B | $205.26B |
| P/E ratio | 34.6 | 12.1 |
| ROE | 63.51% | 9.35% |
| Profit margin | 51.20% | 23.21% |
| Revenue growth | 13.20% | 8.00% |
| Dividend yield | 0.73% | 2.16% |
| Beta | 0.79 | 1.15 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
