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.

Net Sales- Building Automation: $1.80 billion compared to the $1.78 billion average estimate based on five analysts. The reported number represents a change of +19.6% year over year.
