Common mistakes

盈利 is the result, not the action; use 盈利 as a noun (e.g. 公司获得盈利), not as a verb like 'to profit'. For the verb 'to make a profit', use 赚钱 or 盈利 as part of 获得盈利.

Formality

盈利 is neutral in formality; in very formal accounting contexts, 利润 is more common for 'profit' as a line item, while 盈余 means 'surplus'.
