Give way to profit (5)

I believe the answer is:

yield

I believe this is a double definition.

'give way to' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'profit' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for yield that I've seen before include "Chicken out" , "Knuckle under" , "Produce, generate" , "Give way; produce" , "Income" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
