Why It's Important: Nearly half of this year's list includes companies that are publicly traded or part of publicly traded companies. This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world.
Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX.
When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.

JPMorgan analyst Matthew R. Boss has updated quarterly models for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail">some department store companies</a>.
Here are his views on three retailers.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Kohl&#8217;s</h3>
Despite sales gains tied to in-store efforts like Sephora and Home Décor, Kohl&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) continues to face revenue declines in several segments—apparel, footwear, and legacy homes.
The analyst also flagged structural risks to Kohl's store footprint, which makes up over half of U.S. department stores. Adjusted debt/EBITDAR ended 2023 at 3.6x—that&#8217;s well above the company's ~2.5x target. Continued same-store sales pressure and margin erosion is likely pushing leverage above 4x through 2024–26, based on JPMorgan estimates.

Boss forecasts fiscal year 2025 EPS of 56 cents and fiscal year 2026 EPS of 53 cents, both above Street estimates of 41 cents and 47 cents, respectively.
The analyst maintains an Underweight rating on the stock with a price forecast of $8, unchanged.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vail Resorts</h3>
Boss writes that Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) may be approaching a turning point in revenue and earnings as FY25 winds down, helped by the return of former CEO Katz and unique growth drivers.
The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s premium resort portfolio, upfront revenue via its Epic Pass strategy, and a more resilient customer base of high-income, frequent skiers as key advantages.
Boss projects fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA at $866 million and fiscal year 2026 at $908 million, both slightly above Street estimates.
The analyst keeps a Neutral rating on Vail Resorts, with a price forecast of $167.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Foot Locker</h3>
Boss notes that while Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) has faced challenges from inconsistent same-store sales, increased promotions, and brand allocation changes—particularly with Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>)—Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) aims to revamp the business through its $2.4 billion acquisition.
The deal is intended to create a larger global retail sports platform, strengthen brand partnerships, enhance omni-channel capabilities, and unlock synergies.
Boss models fiscal year 2025 EPS for Foot Locker at $1.10, ahead of the Street's $1.00, and projects fiscal year 2026 EPS to rise to $1.65.
The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $24.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) rose in early trading on Thursday despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45648326/dicks-sporting-goods-profit-falls-short-of-expectations-sticks-to-annual-outlook-despite-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an earnings miss for the first quarter on Wednesday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
JPMorgan On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d225/christopher-horvers">Analyst Christopher Horvers</a> reiterated a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $224 to $195.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' fundamentals remain strong, although the acquisition of Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) continues to be "an overhang," Horvers said in a note. This was the fifth consecutive quarter in which the company generated over 4% comp, which came in at +4.8%, driven by strength in both ticket and traffic, he added.
Management maintained their full-year guide of 1%-3% comps and earnings of $13.80-$14.40 per share, citing strength in the first quarter, confidence in their strategic initiatives, and "operational strength against a complex macro environment," the analyst stated. 
The company believes it can meet its targets "regardless of the tariff situation given the strength of its assortment and business momentum, diversification efforts, strong partnerships with vendors, and DKS's strong pricing capabilities," he further wrote.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes">Analyst Robert Ohmes</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported adjusted earnings of $3.37 per share and comp of 4.5%, in-line with its preannouncement, driven by growth in ticket and traffic, Ohmes said. Gross margin came in at 36.7%, up 41 bps year-on-year, the analyst noted.
The company plans to acquire Foot Locker for $24 per share or $2.5 billion, with the deal expected to close in the back half of 2025, Ohmes stated. "DKS expects $100-125mn in cost synergies (procurement &amp; sourcing efficiencies) over the medium term and the acquisition to be accretive to F27E EPS," he wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e301e08430dee0001c88c8d/joseph-feldman">Analyst Joseph Feldman</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $220.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported "impressive results again," despite the tougher consumer environment, Feldman said. Its comp remained strong, "reflecting solid demand for sporting goods and continued market share gains," he wrote.
The analyst stated that management maintained their full-year comp and earnings guidance at 1.0%-3.0% and $13.80-$14.40 per share, respectively. He added that many investors are skeptical about the Foot Locker deal, given Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' strong position in the U.S. sporting goods market and considering the target is structurally challenged.
DKS Price Action: Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods had risen by 0.3% to $177.74 at the time of publication on Thursday.
