The operating return on assets (operating ROA) for TREX Co., Inc. has shown some fluctuations in recent quarters. In Q4 2023, the operating ROA was 29.61%, a slight increase from the previous quarter's 27.90%.

Looking further back, the trend indicates a decline in operating ROA, with Q3 2022 showing a notably higher figure of 43.59% and a consecutive decrease until Q4 2023. This may indicate a potential challenge in maintaining profitability relative to the company's asset base.
