Crowdstrike Holdings Inc's operating return on assets (operating ROA) has experienced fluctuations over the past five years. In the most recent fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, the company's operating ROA was -0.03%, which indicates a slight improvement compared to the previous year.

However, it's important to note that the company has been facing challenges in generating profits from its assets in recent years. The operating ROA was notably negative in the previous four fiscal years, reaching as low as -10.40% in January 31, 2020. This suggests that Crowdstrike has struggled to efficiently utilize its assets to generate operating income and may have been operating at a loss during these periods.

The negative trend in operating ROA over the years could indicate potential issues with the company's operational efficiency, profitability, or asset management. It is crucial for Crowdstrike to address these challenges to improve its financial performance and enhance its ability to generate returns from its assets in the future.
