ROA = Net income (ttm) ÷ Total assets
= $1,887,000K ÷ $38,699,000K
= 4.88%

The return on assets (ROA) for Uber Technologies Inc has shown a positive trend over the last two quarters of 2023, with the ROA increasing from 2.93% in Q3 to 4.88% in Q4. This indicates that the company is generating more profit relative to its assets in these recent periods. However, it is important to note that Uber experienced negative ROA in the first half of 2023, reaching its lowest point at -32.45% in Q2.

Comparing the ROA figures to the previous year, Uber's performance has significantly improved as the company reported negative ROA values in Q1 and Q2 of 2022, with the ROA gradually decreasing throughout that year. The steep decline in ROA in late 2022 was followed by a recovery trajectory in 2023.

Overall, the positive ROA in recent quarters indicates that Uber has been able to generate favorable returns from its assets, reflecting potential improvements in efficiency and profitability. However, given the fluctuations in ROA observed in the historical data, it is crucial for investors and stakeholders to closely monitor Uber's financial performance and asset utilization in the upcoming quarters.
