The objective of this study was to identify the capacity of profitability indicators in producing subsidies for analysts and investors through the differentiation of the companies of the same industry. This approach follows the contingency line. To this, were analyzed 17 companies from the real estate industry from B3, in 22 trimesters. The data, secondary, were collected from B3 website, using the indicators: ROA, Gross Margin, EBITDA Margin and Net Profit Margin. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Kruskal Wallis test, with the multiple comparisons process. The results made possible to evaluate each of indicator and company, identifying those that most differentiate them. As a conclusion, the four indicators showed statistically significant differences between the companies, but in levels less than 40% of the possible comparisons. Thus, the use of statistical techniques contributes to the identification of significant variations in performance between companies, as well as demonstrates the similarities in the same industry and can contribute to the judgment of analysts and investors.
