make a profit/make profits

[Hese]

Hello there,

I've been wondering for quite some time if I can say "make a profit" and "make profits". I've googled both expressions and I've noticed that "make a profit" comes up more frequently (that's the expression I learned in my course yesterday).

Is it wrong to say that a company makes profits?

Thank you for your help

I think profit is uncountable, so you actually can't make profits.

Make a profit is the correct term. The money you make is a profit, not plural.
