ViaSat Inc's return on equity (ROE) has exhibited a downward trend over the past five years, starting at 0.70% on March 31, 2021, and decreasing to -12.63% by March 31, 2025. The company's negative ROE figures over the last few years indicate that its net income has not been generating sufficient returns in relation to shareholder equity. This could be attributed to issues such as declining profitability, inefficient use of assets, or increasing debt levels. ViaSat Inc may need to focus on enhancing its operational efficiency, controlling costs, and improving profitability to reverse this trend and enhance shareholder value in the long run.
