Yes profits as a percent of GDP are near all time highs. They hit their all time peak in 2005, then dropped during the Great Recession primarily because financial companies lost huge amounts of money, and now they are again challenging their 2005 peak.

My reasoning is that in a muddle through economy of relatively low growth the share of profits as a percent of GDP is bound to drop back to average levels. Right now it's approaching 10%. Historical average is around 5%.
