The trend of Operating ROA shows a gradual decline from 17.76% in March 2020 to 11.01% in December 2024, indicating a decreasing ability to generate profits from its operating assets over this period. The peak Operating ROA of 17.76% in March 2020 was followed by a general downward trend, with some minor fluctuations observed in certain quarters.

The decrease in Operating ROA could suggest challenges in managing operating expenses, declining operating income, or inefficient asset utilization. The drop in Operating ROA may raise concerns about the company's operational efficiency and profitability. It is important for Upbound Group Inc. to analyze the factors contributing to this decline and strategize to improve its operational performance to enhance its profitability in the future.
