Top 3 US fastest-growing companies in 2020

Etsy

Share price: $177.8

Annual growth: +301.3%

While mercilessly destroying many companies in different industries, the pandemic was a huge booster for firms from the e-commerce segment. Etsy, an American e-commerce platform focused on handmade or vintage items, has gained momentum in 2020. However, at the very beginning of the reporting period, even experts with a vast knowledge of the market could hardly predict that the company would land the stock at an all-time price high. No wonder, the company was added to the S&P 500 index, one of the most important stock market indices tracking the success of America's largest publicly-traded companies, without a moment of hesitation. Notably, during the year, its shares have been rising faster than those of such industry giants as Amazon and eBay. The coronavirus pandemic literally made the company so successful that even analysts could not foresee such a wild rally in time. In the first ten months alone, Etsy's revenue soared by 102% and gross sales jumped by 101%. The total number of users of the platform reached 69.6 million, up by 55% than in the previous year. In addition, the company is likely to add gains as the holiday season is approaching.

During all four quarters of the current year, the company's earnings reports came as a surprise to experts, who did not expect such a breakthrough in either profit or revenue. Its success was primarily due to the growing demand for automatic control systems. According to the company’s preliminary estimates, its profit may jump by 57% at the end of the fiscal year to the level of $4.5 per share. The revenue is likely to soar by 33% to $3 billion.
