This year's list includes some high-flying, old favorites, such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).Lesser-known companies on the list include Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRTX).Goldman's end-of-year price target for the S&P 500 is 2,850.
