The trend in Honeywell International Inc's operating return on assets (ROA) over the years reveals varying performance levels. The operating ROA increased from 9.86% as of December 31, 2020, to 11.75% as of December 31, 2021, indicating an improvement in the company's ability to generate operating income from its assets. It experienced a slight dip in operating ROA to 10.91% as of December 31, 2022, but rebounded to 11.51% as of December 31, 2023.

However, there is a significant anomaly where the operating ROA spiked to an unusually high level of 528.42% as of December 31, 2024. Such a drastic increase is atypical and requires further investigation to understand the underlying reasons behind this outlier.

Overall, Honeywell International Inc's operating ROA demonstrates a generally positive trend, with fluctuations in certain periods that may warrant closer scrutiny to assess the company's operational efficiency and asset utilization.
