The article explores impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on profit-seeking sectors of the Czech economy. The research question was how significantly the pandemic impacted the profitability of companies in different sectors and what was the distribution of these impacts. Complete ROA time series for 40,559 active entrepreneurial entities (approx. 12% of population) were collected for the years 2018 to 2021. For each entity, the differences between the profitability of the first and last two years were calculated. Boxplot visualisation reveals that most hard-hit sectors were ‘R-arts, entertainment and recreation’ and ‘I-accommodation and food service activities’, the latter named also showed the greatest variability in profitability as measured by the interquartile range.
