Operating return on assets (ROA) is a key financial ratio that measures a company's ability to generate operating profits from its assets. The trend analysis of Dana Inc's operating ROA from March 2020 to December 2024 shows fluctuations in the performance of the company.

- The operating ROA started at 4.19% in March 2020, decreased to 2.73% by December 2020, and then gradually increased to 5.99% by September 2021. This improvement indicates that the company was able to generate more operating income relative to its assets during this period.

- However, the operating ROA experienced some volatility in the subsequent quarters, fluctuating between 3.85% to 4.93% from September 2022 to September 2023. This fluctuation suggests potential challenges in maintaining consistent operating profitability relative to its asset base.

- In the latest period, Dana Inc's operating ROA stood at 4.40% in December 2024, which is slightly lower compared to the peak levels seen in 2021. This indicates a moderate decline in the company's ability to generate operating profits from its assets.
