Return on equity stands at -1.8%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 1.6% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $7.32B (2022) to $5.14B (2025), a 30% decline worth watching.
