December 31, 2024 calculation

ROA = Net income (ttm) ÷ Total assets
= $2,386,680K ÷ $14,893,700K
= 16.02%

O'Reilly Automotive Inc's return on assets (ROA) has shown a generally positive trend over the past five years, increasing from 12.34% in March 2020 to 16.02% in December 2024. The company's ability to generate profits from its assets has improved steadily over this period, indicating effective asset management and utilization. However, there was a slight decrease in ROA from the peak of 18.47% in December 2021 to 16.02% in December 2024. This decline may suggest a potential dip in asset efficiency or profitability during the latter part of the period. Overall, O'Reilly Automotive Inc's ROA performance reflects a strong foundation in effectively generating returns from its assets, although some fluctuations in profitability may require further investigation.
