The latest data point for Q2'26 shows ROE at 6.65%, ROA at 2.57%, and ROIC at 4.56%, indicating a modest improvement in profitability metrics compared to the prior quarter, with ROE leading the recovery while ROA remains the lowest among the three indicators. Over the period from Q3'23 to Q2'26, all metrics exhibited an initial peak in Q4'23—ROE at 8.92%, ROA at 3.89%, and ROIC at 7.71%—followed by a sharp decline to lows in Q3'24 (ROE 4.12%, ROA 1.53%, ROIC 2.88%), reflecting potential operational challenges or margin pressures. Since Q4'24, the trends have stabilized with gradual upward momentum, particularly in ROE and ROIC, suggesting improving capital efficiency and returns on assets for CSCO, though volatility persists and levels remain below early-period highs.
