The return on assets (ROA) for ViaSat Inc has displayed significant fluctuations over the period outlined in the data provided. From June 30, 2020, to June 30, 2021, we observe a positive trend with ROA increasing from -0.02% to 0.55%, indicating an improvement in the company's efficiency in generating profits relative to its total assets.

However, starting from September 30, 2021, the ROA began to decline steadily, reaching a low of -6.48% by March 31, 2024. This downward trend suggests that ViaSat Inc's profitability in utilizing its assets worsened over this period, potentially signaling operational challenges or declining asset performance.

In the last available data point for March 31, 2025, the ROA figure is not provided, making it challenging to draw a conclusion about the most recent performance. It is worth noting that a sustained negative or declining ROA could indicate inefficiencies in the company's operations, underperforming assets, or strategic issues that may require management's attention and corrective actions to improve profitability and asset utilization in the future.
