The return on assets (ROA) of Liberty Oilfield Services Inc has fluctuated over the past few years. ROA was negative throughout most of 2020 and early 2021, indicating that the company was not effectively generating profit relative to its asset base during that period.

However, there was a notable turnaround in ROA starting from the second quarter of 2022, where the percentage turned positive and began to increase steadily. The improvement in ROA continued through 2023 and into 2024, reaching a peak of 21.03% in June 30, 2023.

This positive trend suggests that Liberty Oilfield Services Inc has been more efficient in utilizing its assets to generate profit in recent years. The company's focus on improving operational efficiency, cost management, or revenue generation could be contributing factors to this improved performance. It indicates a positive outlook and a healthier financial position for the company compared to the previous years.
