= -1.65%

TechTarget, Inc.'s return on assets (ROA) has shown a declining trend over the last few years. The ROA decreased from a healthy 7.61% as of December 31, 2019, to 0.64% as of December 31, 2023, before turning negative in the following periods. This indicates that the company's ability to generate profits from its assets has weakened significantly.

The sharp increase to 2,369.06% as of September 30, 2022, may be an outlier or result from extraordinary items. It is important to investigate this anomaly further to understand its underlying cause and implications.
