profitability
Making money consistently
Profitability is the capacity to generate profit—revenue exceeding costs.
Businesses measure profitability through ratios and margins: The company's profitability improved after cutting overhead.
The term applies to specific ventures or overall operations: We need to assess the profitability of this product line.
Something with high profitability yields good returns relative to investment.
