As part of its 2025 Rankings, Just Capital is proud to present its list of Industry leaders, or companies that receive the highest overall rank within each of our 36 industries.

Of this year’s 36 industry leaders, 21 companies remained the leaders of their industry while 15 companies dropped out of the industry leader spot this year. Below is the full list of industry leaders for 2025. Industry leader shifts can be explained by both improved year-over-year performance of individual companies as well as shifting industry compositions.

Among the industry leaders, the following saw the biggest increases in their rank (and are not influenced by treatments, such as Unique Event Treatment, applied to the model). Three of these five companies (The Hershey Company, Lear Corporation, and Otis Worldwide Corporation) also moved into the Just 100.

This year, 30 out of the 36 industries were represented in the JUST 100: In other words, six industry leaders are not part of the JUST 100 this year. These industry leaders are listed below.
