Verizon Communications Inc. vs AT&T Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.

|---|---|---|
| Price | $50.25 | $25.77 |
| Market cap | $208.78B | $176.59B |
| P/E ratio | 13.1 | 8.5 |
| ROE | 15.84% | 18.34% |
| Profit margin | 11.64% | 16.94% |
| Revenue growth | -0.70% | 2.30% |
| Dividend yield | 5.63% | 4.32% |

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