Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group Announce America’s Greatest Companies 2025

The Recognition Celebrates 650 U.S. Businesses Setting the Standard for Performance, Innovation, and Impact

 Newsweek, in collaboration with Plant-A Insights Group, proudly presents the 2025 edition of America’s Greatest Companies, recognizing 650 standout organizations that are shaping the future of business in the United States. The list highlights companies that are excelling in financial strength, employee engagement, innovation, and sustainability. From emerging startups to household names, honorees include industry leaders like JPMorgan Chase, NVIDIA, Apple, and Freshpet.

This year’s list reflects the dynamic spirit of American business. As of late 2024, U.S. corporate profits reached $4 trillion, nearly doubled from a decade earlier, driven largely by booming nonfinancial industries such as retail, construction, and manufacturing. “These companies represent what it means to lead with purpose and adaptability in an evolving economy,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief at Newsweek. “They are building a resilient future, guided by values as much as by vision.”

To determine the rankings, Plant-A Insights Group conducted a comprehensive analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data across four dimensions: financial performance, employee satisfaction and growth, innovation through patent activity and R&D investment, and sustainability practices. Data sources included SEC filings, USPTO patent data, verified company reviews, and third-party analytics—all reviewed over a 24-month period to ensure robustness and accuracy.
