- Report on Business magazine has produced its ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies for the past eight years, with 375 companies making the 2026 edition.
- The Globe and Mail launched the voluntary program in 2019; it ranks participating private and public Canadian businesses on three-year revenue growth.
- To qualify, a company had to be Canadian-run and post at least $2 million in annual sales in its most recent fiscal year; franchisors were ranked on corporate revenue only, not systemwide sales.
- Applicants submitted supporting financial documentation for 2022 and 2025, and entries were accepted through May 2026; companies were evaluated on fiscal years (with calendar-year substitutions allowed).
- The 375-company cohort spans mining, tech, retail and other sectors of the Canadian economy, and continues to show outstanding growth despite an escalating trade war and economic uncertainty.
- Research for the 2026 ranking was conducted by Sharon Joseph, Fiona Collie and Kayla McKenzie; all revenue figures are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
- Data from the ranking is available for purchase in spreadsheet form via The Globe DataStore, with applications for the 2027 ranking open at tgam.ca/TopGrowing.
Why it matters: The 375-company list is a curated snapshot of Canadian-run firms that crossed the $2M-sales threshold and posted standout three-year revenue growth between 2022 and 2025 — a window covering US tariff escalation and broader economic disruption. For competitors, investors and hiring managers, the ranking is the public benchmark for which mid-market Canadian businesses scaled through the trade war.
