100 Fastest-Growing Companies
High inflation and slowing economic growth have flattened out the meteoric ascent of some of the world’s best-known companies, especially in tech. That’s why there’s so much change this year on Fortune’s annual ranking of the world’s top growers in revenues, profits, and stock returns. Only 24 companies return in 2022 from last year’s top 100: Say “so long, for now” to Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook parent Meta, among many others. The financial sector was the biggest force on the list for the third consecutive year, with 25 companies represented. The resurgent energy sector, meanwhile, placed five companies on the list—more than in the previous six years combined. This year’s group delivered stellar revenue and profit growth, but collectively it underperformed the broader stock market, delivering a 31% average return to shareholders over the past three years, compared to 35% for the S&P 500.
