Among the top 10 most profitable companies in the Fortune 500, drug maker Johnson & Johnson JNJ -1.07% posted the second-largest profit growth in 2014 after J.P. Morgan. Profit increased 18% to $16.3 billion, bolstered by strong revenue growth for the company's pharmaceuticals. New products to treat hepatitis C, type-2 diabetes and prostate cancer were among the treatments that helped lift sales. That growth helped offset sales declines for J&J's medical devices and consumer items, which include baby and skin care products.
