For operating performance: gross margin, operating margin, pretax margin, ROA, ROE, ROC...

Employee data: employee growth, sales per employee, assets per employee...
Valuation measures: price earnings ration, price to sales ration price to book ratio.
Per share data items: sales revenue per share, working capital, operating Income per share, Earning per share, book value per share, cashflow per share, free cash per share...
