Icarus's line is not a request to get comfortable, rather it indicates that Bruno can be reassured that the company is doing well financially, which is Bruno's main concern in this dialogue.
This is correct. "To put something "to rest", means to effectively "end" something. In this case, Icarus is referring to Bruno's "fears" (or worries or concerns). Icarus is delivering the good news to Bruno that Delavigne has posted a profit rather than a loss this year, and for this reason, Bruno can be reassured.
