Minimum, maximum, median and geometric mean only use the families both stocks have (matching families: 8 of 8), so a family without a value on one side does not distort the comparison.

Family by family: Southern Copper is ahead in 8 of 8 shared families, Wheaton Precious Metals in none.

Wheaton Precious Metals: 26 of 26 models see the stock below the current price.
