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 | $336.23 | $141.76 |
| Market cap | $639.42B | $241.78B |
| P/E ratio | 29.3 | 17.5 |
| ROE | 60.35% | 7.65% |
| Profit margin | 51.68% | 20.36% |
| Revenue growth | 17.10% | 15.90% |
| Dividend yield | 0.80% | 1.69% |
| Beta | 0.77 | 1.11 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
