Banking Profitability

Profitability is one of the most essential financial measures for evaluating an organization's or activity's performance. The purpose of financial management is to maximize the market value of a company's stock by achieving high levels of profitability. Furthermore, inflation and the time worth of money can diminish wealth. As a result, businesses must continue to achieve high levels of success to maintain earnings and so wealth.

In the meantime, because banks play such a significant part in the commercial world, a strong banking system is essential for a country's political, social, and economic development. This has been clearly demonstrated in the Kingdom of Bahrain during the last three decades (There are approximately 144 Banks in Bahrain) . Against this background, this research assesses the profitability of Bahraini banks listed on the Bahrain stock exchange and some of the internal factors affecting profitability might include:

• Equity
• Size
• Liability
• Liquidity
• Cash flow
• Investment
• Credit
• Deposit
