Operating return on assets (operating ROA) is a key financial metric that indicates a company's efficiency in generating profit from its assets used in operations. Looking at the data for CNH Industrial N.V. over the recent quarters, we see fluctuations in the operating ROA.

The operating ROA for CNH Industrial N.V. has varied between 1.09% and 10.88% over the past two years. The company's performance peaked at 53.10% in the fourth quarter of 2021 but dropped significantly in the subsequent periods. This sharp decline suggests a possible anomaly or one-time event influencing the data in that quarter.

Generally, an upward trend in the operating ROA indicates improved profitability relative to the assets employed. In contrast, a downward trend may signal inefficiencies or decreasing returns on assets. It is essential to assess the reasons behind these fluctuations, including changes in the company's operating efficiency, asset management, or overall business performance.

Analyzing the operating ROA alongside other financial metrics and qualitative factors can provide a more comprehensive understanding of CNH Industrial N.V.'s financial health and performance.
