## What the Records Show
On October 22, 2026, TIME and Statista published their "America's Growth Leaders of 2027" ranking [5][14]. This list features 500 publicly listed U.S. companies chosen for their performance [5]. The ranking evaluates companies on three main areas: growth performance, financial stability, and stock performance [4][6][13].

Nvidia held a top position on the 2027 list, with artificial intelligence identified as a continuing driver of business growth [5][14]. Coherent Corp., a photonics company, also announced its inclusion in the 2027 ranking [6]. GigaCloud Technology Inc. secured the No. 12 spot on TIME's "America's Growth Leaders 2027" list [8][9].

GigaCloud also ranked No. 13 on Fortune's "Fastest Growing Companies 2026" list [8][9].
