↓Lower is better. Below the line is cheaper. It can also mean the market expects something the numbers don't show yet.

Within 15% of the line counts as in line.
Keep in mind
- The line is a least-squares fit across one group's public numbers; with few companies or a low R² it is shaky.
- It is a relative signal, not a fair value or advice.
