The return on assets (ROA) for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has exhibited a declining trend in the past few quarters, indicating decreasing profitability in relation to its total assets. The company experienced negative ROA figures of -3.19%, -2.23%, and -1.62% in Q4 2023, Q3 2023, and Q2 2023, respectively, reflecting a period of poor performance. This was a significant downturn from the positive ROA figure of 0.02% in Q1 2023.

Comparing the most recent quarters to the same periods in the prior year, there has been a marked decline in ROA. In Q4 2022, Goodyear had an ROA of 0.90%, which dropped to -3.19% in Q4 2023. This suggests a deterioration in the company's ability to generate profit from its assets over time.

Furthermore, the data for Q3 2022 and Q2 2022 showed relatively higher ROA figures at 3.67% and 4.14%, respectively, indicating better asset utilization and profitability during that period. However, the subsequent quarters witnessed a downward trend in ROA figures.

Overall, the fluctuating ROA values indicate inconsistent performance in generating profits relative to the company's asset base. It would be essential for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. to evaluate and improve its operational efficiency and profitability in order to enhance its return on assets in the future.
