Ahead family by family0 of 66 of 6

Minimum, maximum, median and geometric mean only use the families both stocks have (matching families: 6 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: Cisco Systems is ahead in 6 of 6 shared families, Advanced Micro Devices in none.

Advanced Micro Devices: 24 of 24 models see the stock below the current price.

Cisco Systems: 24 of 24 models see the stock below the current price.

Scenario ranges

From our cautious bear scenario to the optimistic bull scenario. The white tick is the current price (value above it), the green tick the fair value (value below it): if the price sits left of the fair value, there is room to rise.
