Ingevity Corp's profitability ratios have shown fluctuations over the years.
1. Operating return on assets (Operating ROA) has generally been positive, ranging from 14.41% to 19.61% over the last five quarters. This indicates that the company has been efficient at generating operating profit from its assets during this period.
2. Return on assets (ROA) has been volatile, fluctuating from -25.49% to 9.65% over the same timeframe. The negative values in some quarters suggest that the company's net income was insufficient to cover its total assets during those periods.
3. Return on total capital has shown significant variability, ranging from 61.28% to 189.04%. The high values indicate the company's ability to generate returns relative to its total capital, although the fluctuations suggest changing capital structures or profitability levels.
4. Return on equity (ROE) has also been erratic, with values ranging from -262.80% to 41.09%. The negative figures in some quarters suggest that the company's net income was unable to cover shareholder equity, indicating a potential risk to investors' returns.
Overall, while Ingevity Corp has demonstrated efficiency in generating operating profit from assets, its overall profitability and returns to shareholders have shown inconsistency and volatility.
