Clearway Energy Inc Class C's operating profit margin has fluctuated over the past few years. Starting from March 31, 2020, at 21.90%, it showed a steady increase until reaching a peak of 27.77% on December 31, 2020. However, the margin decreased in the following quarters, hitting a low of 18.05% on March 31, 2022, before unexpectedly surging to 123.53% on December 31, 2022.

This sudden spike seems anomalous and may be a result of accounting irregularities or data reporting errors. From March 31, 2023, the margin stabilized around the 20-23% range until the end of 2024, when it settled at 14.30% on December 31, 2024.
