If You'd Invested $10,000 in Microsoft Stock When Satya Nadella Became CEO, This Is How Much You Would Have Today
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has become one of the most profound success stories in stock market history. Since its March 1986 initial public offering, the stock has risen nearly 4,500-fold.

When Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, its Windows-driven dominance had weakened amid the rise of the smartphone and competition from Apple on the PC side. So Nadella redefined Microsoft as a cloud company, ushering in a new era of prosperity and making it the company with Wall Street's largest market capitalization.
Here's how the company got there -- and where it could go from here.
