Understanding Median Value in the BoxPlot for Profit/Loss Made in Stock Market?

I have multiple stocks and I took the PROFIT/LOSS for the stocks and plotted it using a box plot (using python seaborn library). Interestingly the median is seen as 0. So does this means that most of stock is making no-profit/no-loss?



I do know that I am actually making around 40K loss, so this baffles me. What does this mean?
