Like the banking sector, only two tech giants generate enough profits to rank among the most profitable firms on the Fortune 500. But unlike the relatively narrow gap between Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan, Microsoft's 2014 profit trailed Apple by more than $17 billion. In total, Microsoft's profit for 2014 was $22.1 billion, up just 1% from a year earlier. The big news for Microsoft last year wasn't profits, but leadership. The software giant named Satya Nadella as CEO, only the third executive to lead the technology company in 40 years.
