Spanish term or phrase: Comparativos
"Comparativos" en español puede que no sea una palabra muy correcta, quizás se trate de un uso reciente. En el contexto presente se refiere a una tabla donde se comparan la competencia por los clientes entre los principales bancos de un país. A veces he visto el término traducido como "Comparatives" lo que me parece del todo incorrecto. Me pregunto si "benmarkings" sería una posible traducción del témino.

El término aparece en este contexto:

"Haciendo click sobre uno de los bloques se llega a la pantalla de “Comparativos” ("bloques" se refiere a "areas").

De momento se me ocurre:

"Clicking on one of the blocks will bring up the "Benchmarking" screen."

comparable data, comparables


Explanation:
"comperables" is the idiomatic term used in investment analysis.
Bankers, who are daily immersed in balance sheets and financial statements, may be using it this way here as well.

comparables, not comperables

"comparative data" is 100% literal and 100% unidiomatic.
