A money-making industry
According to USA Today’s story, 2014 really should be an exceptional year for tech companies. The paper, using data from FactSet, a firm that compiles Wall Street earnings reports, states that these companies should see their net incomes rise by an average of 9.3 percent in 2014. That’s a lot better than in 2013, when tech firms only saw their net incomes rise by an average of 1.9 percent.
Profitable
The USA Today story also stated that tech companies will remain among the most profitable in the United States. These companies should enjoy a profit margin of 15 percent to 16 percent in 2014, according to the USA Today story. That's an extremely healthy profit margin.
