"Most profitable" is too broad a question. More important than profitability is market performance. Start there and figure why the market likes some companies so much.

Look at Nvidia for example. It looks grossly overpriced compared to some but it keeps on going up. There's a reason.

I suggest you go to NASDAQ.com (NVDA) and take a look at all the historical data available. The same data is available for all or most NASDAQ-listed companies.

You have to get deeply into the weeds. Anyone can do it, but most people want to take the easy way out.

Also, there's much more to a company than is visible in its financials. A company's market value is the present value of future expectations. Financials are historical...and the past is not necessarily indicative of the future.
