Bitcoin difficulty is again expected to rise by 12% in about a week. - https://fork.lol/pow/retarget

Are miners still making profit?

The break even point must almost be exceeded ...

Yes, currently as long as your electricity costs less than ~0.13USD per KWH, you can still get a slim profit profit on the Antminer S9i. After a 12% increase in difficulty, you will need to pay less than ~0.11USD/KWH to get any profit. I'm not sure what the stats are for the other miners available to the general market.
