ganhos
Além do mais, o preço é estabelecido de acordo com as cotações internacionais de preços de produtos (“Rotterdam Commodity Exchanges”). Os preços são apenas influenciados pelos custos de transporte e/ou ganhos.
In this context (the fuels market in Portugual and worldwide), could one assume that 'ganhos' means 'profit' or 'gains' or such like?

markups
'Markups' are the additions to the cost price of the item, made by the seller to ensure there is a profit.
From the business dictionary I link to:
---
amount added to the cost of an item to arrive at a selling price. Markup may be expressed as a percentage of cost or in dollars. For example, if an item costing $20 has a profit markup on cost of 30%, the selling price will be $26 ($20 + $6).
---
It is sometimes used hyphenated: mark-up/mark-ups. As in this article:

As the business dictionary notes, the term 'margins' can also be used: "determination of a retail selling price, based on some percentage increase in the wholesale cost; also called margin."

Example sentence:
Gas station owners insist their markups on fuel are just a few percent and the
recent price hikes are due to the increased price of a barrel of oil.
