Ahead family by family4 of 73 of 7

Minimum, maximum, median and geometric mean only use the families both stocks have (matching families: 7 of 8), so a family without a value on one side does not distort the comparison. Ahead in a family is the stock whose fair value there sits higher relative to its price. Geometric because deviations are ratios: half the price and twice the price average to 100%, not 125%.

Family by family: AbbVie is ahead in 4 of 7 shared families, Eli Lilly in 3.

AbbVie: 23 of 23 models see the stock below the current price.

Eli Lilly: 26 of 26 models see the stock below the current price.
