Profitable Companies Still Growing Like Startups (July 2026)

In the black and still growing fast.

The old trade-off says profitability comes at the cost of growth. These 50 profitable companies, still growing like startups, did not sign it. Palantir tops the list with a growth score of 90; Applovin, Credo and NVIDIA cluster at 88, with Credo compounding revenue 80 percent a year and NVIDIA 60 percent, both in the black.

The median growth score here is 80, remarkable for a list where every member is already profitable. Size runs from NVIDIA's $5.0T to FOPE at $244M, an Italian listing growing 27 percent a year. Profitable growth is the profile with the fewest excuses, which is exactly why it earns scrutiny. Click any name for the full citation-backed analysis.
