Hello there,

I want to say 'Profitability of company A is lower than profitability of its peers'. The second 'profitability' is redundant so is it correct to say:

'Profitability of company A is lower than its peers'?

Will it have the same meaning as the original sentense?

Thank you

How's this?--

'Company A's profitability is lower than that of its peers.'

Dear sir,

You may say «A is less profitable than B».

Kind regards, Smile [:)]
