The available data indicates that Cardinal Health Inc. achieved a return on total capital of 28.20% as of June 30, 2021. This figure suggests that, during that fiscal year, the company was able to generate a substantial level of profit relative to its overall capital base, reflecting effective utilization of both equity and debt to produce earnings.
However, data for subsequent years—June 30, 2022, through June 30, 2025—are not provided, as they are marked with placeholders indicating missing or unavailable information. The absence of this data precludes any analysis of trends, fluctuations, or improvements in the company's ability to generate returns on its total capital over the indicated period.
Consequently, while the 2021 figure demonstrates a relatively strong return on total capital at that point in time, no comparative assessment or trend analysis can be performed for the years beyond 2021 based on the provided information.
