German term

Gewinnentwicklung

German to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities Securities and Shares
"ABC befindet sich der Aktienmarkt derzeit in einer Pattsituation. Stellt sich die Skepsis bezüglich der ***Gewinnentwicklung*** in der folgenden Quartalssaison als unbegründet heraus, besteht noch Potenzial für weitere Anschlussnachfrage. Allerdings haben die Investoren ihre Portfolios offenbar noch nicht so defensiv ausgerichtet, wie ihre Skepsis vermuten lassen könnte. Negative Überraschungen
- von Konjunktur- oder Unternehmensseite - könnten daher trotz der generellen Vorsicht zu Portfolioadjustierungen führen."

From some sort of financial newspaper (mainly for investors, I think). I can't find a translation for "Gewinnentwicklung" anywhere. I'm assuming it's something like "earnings growth" or "profit growth", but I just want to be sure of the precise term. TIA for your help.

movement in profits / profit performance / development of profits

I found these terms in DIETL/LORENZ and personally refer to this reference book for such translations.
I hope this helps you in your translation.
