Kohl's Corporation's return on assets (ROA) has exhibited some fluctuations over the period from January 31, 2022, to January 31, 2025. The ROA started at a relatively healthy level of 7.20% in January 2022 but declined progressively to 0.80% by January 2025.

There were periods of both positive and negative ROA values, indicating variability in the company's profitability in relation to its assets. Notably, there were significant declines in the ROA, such as the negative values recorded in April 2023 and a sharp decrease to -4.09% in April 2023.

Although there have been fluctuations, the ROA generally stayed positive over the period, with some recovery evident in subsequent quarters following the declines. The most recent ROA of 0.80% in January 2025 suggests that Kohl's may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its assets to generate profits.

Overall, the trend in Kohl's Corporation's ROA indicates the need for the company to focus on improving its asset efficiency and profitability to enhance overall financial performance.
