Operating return on assets (ROA) measures a company's ability to generate profit from its operating activities relative to its total assets. Looking at Kohls Corp's historical operating ROA figures, we can observe fluctuations over time.
The operating ROA ranged from a low of -1.71% in January 2021 to a high of 11.16% in January 2022. This indicates volatility in the company's profitability in relation to its asset base. From a trend perspective, Kohls Corp experienced a notable increase in operating ROA from negative figures in early 2021 to double-digit percentages in early 2022, showing an improvement in operational efficiency and profitability.
However, after peaking in January 2022, the operating ROA started to decline gradually until it reached 5.12% in February 2024. This downward trend suggests potential challenges or changes in the company's operations that may have impacted its ability to generate returns relative to its asset base.
Overall, it is important for investors and stakeholders to closely monitor Kohls Corp's operating ROA performance to assess its operational efficiency and profitability levels over time.
