The return on assets (ROA) of Amcor PLC has exhibited fluctuations over the analyzed period from September 2020 to June 2025. Initially, at the end of September 2020, the ROA was approximately 4.52%. This figure showed a steady upward trend over the subsequent quarters, reaching a peak of approximately 5.54% at the end of December 2021. During this period, the company demonstrated an improving efficiency in generating profit from its assets.
In the first half of 2022, the ROA experienced a slight decline, falling to around 4.62% by June 2022, and remained relatively stable around 4.83% at the end of September 2022. A notable increase occurred at the end of 2022, with the ROA rising to approximately 6.12% as of December 2022, indicating improved asset utilization or profitability.
However, throughout 2023, the ROA experienced some volatility; it decreased to about 5.65% in March 2023 and marginally increased to 6.16% in June 2023 before declining slightly to 5.80% by September 2023. The beginning of 2024 saw a decline to 3.84% in December 2023, continuing to hover around the low 4% range through March and June 2024, with values of approximately 3.92% and 4.42%, respectively. The quarter ending September 2024 recorded a modest recovery to approximately 4.55%, and this trend persisted into the subsequent quarters, with ROA figures of about 4.94% in December 2024 and 4.47% in March 2025.
The most significant decline occurred in the latest quarter reported, ending June 2025, where the ROA sharply decreased to approximately 1.38%. This downward trend toward the end of the observation period suggests a significant reduction in asset profitability or efficiency in using assets to generate earnings. Overall, the company's ROA indicates periods of operational improvement interspersed with declines, culminating in a notably low level in mid-2025 that warrants further investigation into the reasons behind the sharp decline in asset profitability.
