ViaSat Inc's operating return on assets (ROA) has shown fluctuating trends over the periods provided. The operating ROA started at 0.84% in June 2020, declined to a low of -5.78% by December 2023, and then recovered slightly to 0.36% by December 2024. As of March 2025, the data is not available.

The operating ROA measures how efficiently the company generates operating income from its assets. A positive operating ROA indicates that the company is generating operating profit from its assets, while a negative operating ROA implies that the company is not effectively utilizing its assets to generate profits.

The significant decline in operating ROA from 1.33% in June 2021 to -5.57% in September 2023 may indicate operational challenges or inefficiencies impacting the company's profitability. It is essential for ViaSat Inc to closely monitor and address the factors leading to these negative trends in operating ROA to improve asset utilization and overall profitability in the future.
