To analyze NVIDIA Corp's return on assets (ROA) over the past eight quarters, we observe a fluctuation in ROA values. In Q4 2024, the ROA stood at 45.28%, significantly higher than the ROA values of the preceding quarters.

In Q3 2024, the ROA was 34.88%, showcasing a decrease from the previous quarter but still maintaining a relatively high return on assets. The ROA dropped further in Q2 2024 to 20.84%, suggesting a reduced efficiency in utilizing assets to generate profits.

The ROA saw a considerable decline in Q1 2024 to 10.78%, which was notably lower than the ROA values from the previous quarters. This decrease may indicate challenges in generating earnings from the company's asset investments.

Comparing the most recent data to Q4 2023, where the ROA was 10.61%, there has been a substantial improvement in the company's asset utilization efficiency. However, the ROA was notably higher in the earlier quarters of 2023, with values ranging from 14.71% to 20.92%.

Overall, while NVIDIA Corp's ROA has shown fluctuations over the past eight quarters, the company demonstrated strong performance in Q4 2024, with a sharp increase in return on assets compared to the previous quarters. It is essential for investors and stakeholders to monitor future ROA trends to assess the company's profitability and asset management efficiency effectively.
