December 31, 2024 calculation
Operating ROA = Operating income (ttm) ÷ Total assets
= $-11,678,000K ÷ $196,485,000K
= -5.94%
Intel Corporation's operating return on assets (ROA) has been on a downward trend over the periods analyzed. In March 2020, the operating ROA stood at 16.86%, indicating that for every dollar of assets, the company generated approximately 16.86 cents in operating income. The ratio slightly increased in the following quarter but began to decline steadily thereafter.
The declining trend in operating ROA suggests that Intel's operating profitability in relation to its asset base has been weakening. By December 2024, the operating ROA had decreased to -5.94%, signifying that the company was experiencing operating losses in relation to its total assets.
A negative operating ROA indicates that the company's operating income was insufficient to cover the total assets, resulting in a loss-generating situation. It is essential for Intel to closely evaluate and address the factors contributing to this decline to improve operational efficiency and enhance profitability in the future.
