Insulet Corporation's operating return on assets (operating ROA) has shown fluctuations over the periods provided. The operating ROA ranged from a low of -0.44% in December 2022 to a high of 10.69% in September 2024.

In general, the operating ROA improved gradually from the end of 2022 through 2023 and into 2024, reaching double-digit percentages by the end of the period. This indicates that the company was able to generate higher operating income relative to its assets during these periods.

However, it is important to note that there were some declines and fluctuations in the operating ROA throughout the timeframe, such as the decreases in the first half of 2022 and the negative returns in late 2022 and early 2023. These variations may suggest changes in the company's operational efficiency and profitability, which could be influenced by factors such as expenses management, revenue generation, or asset utilization.

Overall, the trend of increasing operating ROA towards the latter part of the period is a positive indication of the company's ability to effectively generate profits from its assets, but continued monitoring and analysis of the underlying financial and operational performance would be necessary to assess the sustainability of this trend.
