The Return on Assets (ROA) exhibited a volatile pattern between 2020 and 2024. Initially negative, the ROA trended downward before improving significantly in the most recent period.

Net Income and ROA Relationship
The ROA is directly influenced by net income. From 2020 to 2022, net income attributable to DoorDash, Inc. common stockholders remained negative, resulting in corresponding negative ROA values. The magnitude of the net loss increased substantially in 2022, driving the ROA to its lowest point during the analyzed period. A reduction in the net loss in 2023 led to an improvement in ROA, although it remained negative. The shift to positive net income in 2024 resulted in a positive ROA.

Total assets consistently increased throughout the period, from US$6,353 million in 2020 to US$12,845 million in 2024. This asset growth occurred concurrently with the fluctuations in net income, impacting the ROA calculation.

ROA Trend Analysis
The ROA decreased from -7.26% in 2020 to -13.94% in 2022, indicating a worsening ability to generate earnings from its asset base. However, the ROA improved to -5.15% in 2023, suggesting a stabilization in performance. The most significant change occurred in 2024, with the ROA turning positive at 0.96%, demonstrating a substantial improvement in profitability relative to assets.

The substantial increase in assets, coupled with the transition from net losses to net income, suggests a potential shift in the company’s operational efficiency and profitability. The positive ROA in 2024 indicates that the company is beginning to generate a return for its investors based on its asset base.
