We present the amounts of information, fidelity, and reversibility obtained by arbitrary quantum measurements on completely unknown states. These quantities are expressed as functions of the singular values of a measurement operator corresponding to the obtained outcome. As an example, we consider a class of quantum measurements with highly degenerate singular values to discuss tradeoffs among information, fidelity, and reversibility. The tradeoffs are at the level of a single outcome, in the sense that the quantities pertain to each single outcome rather than the average over all possible outcomes.
