January 31, 2025 calculation
Return on total capital = EBIT (ttm) ÷ (Long-term debt + Total stockholders’ equity)
= $556,000K ÷ ($1,907,000K + $1,577,000K)
= 15.96%
The return on total capital for Science Applications International Corporation Common Stock has shown a generally positive trend over the analyzed period from May 1, 2020, to January 31, 2025. The ratio increased from 8.46% on May 1, 2020, to a peak of 19.65% on February 2, 2024, before gradually decreasing to 15.96% on January 31, 2025.
The consistent growth in return on total capital until early 2024 indicates that the company efficiently utilized its capital to generate profits. The peak in February 2024 could signify a period of exceptional performance or strategic initiatives that significantly boosted profitability.
However, the decline in the ratio post-February 2024, with fluctuations in subsequent periods, may suggest challenges or changes affecting the company's ability to maintain the same level of profitability as before. The sharp increase to 19.54% in November 3, 2023, followed by a decline to 13.46% on August 2, 2024, and further movements thereafter, indicates potential volatility or shifts in the company's financial performance.
Overall, while the return on total capital for Science Applications International Corporation Common Stock has experienced fluctuations, the general upward trend until early 2024 indicates positive capital utilization and profitability. Investors and stakeholders may monitor future financial reports to assess whether the recent decline is transient or indicative of longer-term challenges that may impact the company's financial health.
