In the most recent quarter, Dec 31, 2023, Kraft Heinz Co had an operating ROA of 5.06%, indicating that the company generated 5.06 cents of operating income for every dollar of assets. This represents an improvement from the previous quarter's operating ROA of 5.02%.

Looking back over the past year, the operating ROA has generally been on an upward trend, with the exception of a slight dip in Mar 31, 2023. However, compared to the same quarter of the previous year, Dec 31, 2022, there has been a noticeable increase in the operating ROA, reflecting improved efficiency in generating operating income from assets.

It is important to note the significant negative values in the operating ROA for the quarters ending Mar 31, 2019, and Dec 31, 2019. These periods indicate that Kraft Heinz Co faced challenges in generating operating income relative to its asset base during those times.
