The pretax margin of Dana Inc has displayed fluctuations over the period from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. The trend shows some variability in the company's ability to generate profit before taxes as a percentage of its total revenue.

The pretax margin started at 0.91% on March 31, 2020, and decreased to a low of -0.31% on December 31, 2022. However, there was a recovery in profitability in the subsequent periods, with the pretax margin improving to 2.24% on March 31, 2023, and reaching its peak at 2.94% on September 30, 2021.

Despite the fluctuations, the pretax margin generally remained positive, indicating that Dana Inc was able to generate profits before accounting for taxes. The upward trend from the negative values in 2022 towards positive figures in the following periods suggests an improvement in the company's operational efficiency and cost management.

However, the slight decline in pretax margin observed towards the end of the analyzed period, specifically a decrease to 0.78% on December 31, 2024, may warrant further investigation into factors affecting the company's profitability and strategies for sustaining or improving margins in the future.
