While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Revenues- Aerospace: $8.52 billion versus the two-analyst average estimate of $8.53 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +11.9%.
Revenues- Power: $5.79 billion versus the two-analyst average estimate of $4.86 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +15%.
Revenues- Renewable Energy: $4.21 billion versus $3.70 billion estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +23.4% change.

Segment profit (loss)- Renewable Energy: -$347 million versus the two-analyst average estimate of -$385.69 million.
