In the most recent quarter, Q4'25, Verizon's (VZ) operating ROA metrics show ROE at 2.24%, ROA at 0.58%, and ROIC at 1.43%, reflecting a moderate but noticeable decline from the prior quarter's levels of 4.71% for ROE, 1.27% for ROA, and 2.40% for ROIC, indicating potential pressures on profitability efficiency at year-end. Over the period from Q1'23 to Q4'25, all three metrics exhibit a generally stable to slightly improving trend through 2025, with ROE, ROA, and ROIC averaging around 4-5%, 1.2%, and 2.3% respectively in the first three quarters of 2025, before dipping in Q4'25; a notable inflection point occurred in Q4'23 when all turned negative (ROE at -2.93%, ROA at -0.71%, ROIC at -0.41%), likely due to seasonal or operational factors, followed by a consistent recovery and low volatility in the line chart patterns, underscoring resilient capital utilization despite the latest softening.
