Coherent Inc experienced positive ROA figures in some periods, indicating effective asset utilization to generate profits. For instance, in the latest reported quarter of June 30, 2024, the ROA was -1.08%, representing a decrease from the previous quarter. However, it is worth noting that the ROA has been fluctuating and has been negative in recent quarters, suggesting challenges in generating profits relative to the size of the assets employed.

The company's ROA reached its peak at 5.00% in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 but has since fluctuated downwards. This decline in ROA could indicate inefficiencies in asset management or challenges in generating profits from the assets at a level comparable to prior periods.

It is essential for Coherent Inc to closely evaluate its asset management strategies and profitability generation methods to reverse this trend and improve its ROA in the future.
