The energy sector hasn’t dominated the Fortune Fastest Growing Companies list in more than 15 years—not since a three-year streak from 2006 to 2008. But this year, energy is back on top, accounting for 28 of the 100 companies on our list.
The sector has seen a sharp rise in recent years. In 2021, there were no energy companies on the list, which ranks companies based on growth in revenue, profits, and stock returns; and in 2022 there were only five. Now, the energy sector’s presence on the list has nearly doubled in comparison to last year, when 15 companies earned spots.
