At a profit loss

Hello
I have to do a sentence with "at a profit". I want to mean that the firms which do benefits are not numerous :
The firms at a profit are more and more rare.
Is it correct ?
Thank you
Babeth

Hello
I saw in Wordreference that "At a profit" is an adjective ?

Good evening,
No, it's not! at all! you can consider it as an adverbial phrase. You "do" something at a profit!
Bye for now.
