As of May 28 and May 31, 2023, the reported ROA was 9.59%, reflecting a stable profitability relative to its asset base at that time. Moving forward to the period ending May 26 and May 31, 2024, the ROA decreased slightly to 9.08%, suggesting a modest reduction in the company's efficiency in generating profit from its assets. The most recent data point for May 31, 2025, shows a further decrease to 8.34%. This downward trend over the year indicates a potential weakening in operational performance or increased asset base without a commensurate increase in net income. Overall, the ROA has declined from 9.59% in 2023 to 8.34% in 2025, reflecting approximately a 1.25 percentage point reduction over the two-year period. Such a trend warrants continued monitoring to assess whether this decline signifies broader operational challenges or strategic shifts affecting asset utilization and profitability.
