The pretax margin of Trimble Inc has displayed fluctuating trends over the period from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024.

The company's pretax margin started at 10.72% in March 2020 and gradually increased to 16.41% by September 2021, indicating improved profitability as a percentage of its total revenue before taxes.

Subsequently, there was a dip in the pretax margin to 9.40% by December 2023, which was significantly lower compared to previous periods. This sharp decline could indicate a decrease in profitability or operational challenges during that quarter.

Remarkably, in June 2024, the pretax margin surged to an unusually high value of 53.15%, followed by further growth to 54.46% by December 2024. Such a substantial increase may be attributed to exceptional performance, changes in accounting methods, or unique events affecting the company's financial results.
