Gartner Current Status
Where Gartner stands after the report for Q2 2026: what changed in revenue, earnings and outlook, written editorially from the original report. NadirAlpha methodology
Assessment by NadirAlpha, as of Q2 2026.
Gartner reported revenues of 1,675.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, with adjusted revenues up 2.8% as reported and 1.8% on an FX-neutral basis 30. Diluted EPS reached 4.14, up 33.1% year over year, and adjusted EPS was 4.37, up 23.8% year over year 30. Adjusted EBITDA excluding the divested operation was $466 million, up 6.4% as reported and 4.4% FX-neutral 30. The board of directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $500 million in July 2026 30.
Management commentary on the 2026-Q2 results (8-K-EX99.1, 2026-08-04):
“Contract Value growth accelerated again. Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA excluding divested operation, Adjusted EPS, and free cash flow were ahead of expectations. We repurchased $547 million of stock in the quarter, as our capital allocation continues to create value for our shareholders. In addition, we increased our full year Adjusted EBITDA excluding divested operation, Adjusted EPS, and free cash flow guidance even with the stronger dollar.” Gene Hall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 30

Guidance
For FY2026, Gartner guides EPS (non-GAAP) increased (raised); EBITDA (adjusted) increased (raised); Revenue n/a (initiated). 28
ProfitabilityOperating income was 378.5 million in Q2 2026, up from 327.1 million in Q2 2025, reflecting reduced operating expenses 29. Net income was 275.5 million for the quarter, compared with 240.8 million in Q2 2025 29. Operating cash flow was 398.3 million, up 3.8%, and free cash flow increased 8.9% to $378 million in Q2 2026 30.
LeverageAs of June 30, 2026, the company held cash of 1,488.7 million and net debt stood at 1,490.6 million 130. During Q2, the company repurchased 3.6 million common shares for $547 million 30. Outstanding long-term debt includes $350 million of 4.950% Senior Notes due 2031 and $450 million of 5.600% Senior Notes due 2035, issued in November 2025 with combined net proceeds of approximately $799.9 million 29.
RecurringGartner's Insights segment, its subscription-based research business, generated revenues of $1.3 billion in Q2 2026, up 2% year over year 29. Research contract value on an FX-neutral basis reached $5.3 billion in Q2 2026, up 1.7% year over year, with Global Technology Sales at $4.0 billion (up 1.1% FX-neutral) and Global Business Sales at $1.3 billion (up 3.3% FX-neutral) 30. The Insights segment contribution margin was 77.5% in Q2 2026 30.
Management viewConsulting backlog increased 9% to $213.8 million as of June 30, 2026, on an FX-neutral basis, reflecting near-term pipeline strength in the advisory business 29. Conferences segment revenues reached $244.2 million in Q2 2026, up 15%, driven by higher exhibitor and attendee revenue, with a contribution margin of 59.5% 29 30.
ChangeThe Digital Markets business was divested in February 2026 for approximately $104.8 million net of cash transferred, with a pre-tax gain of $5.4 million recorded on the transaction 29. Consulting segment revenues decreased 9% to $141.9 million in Q2 2026, driven by lower labor-based consulting revenue particularly in Japan and EMEA regions 29. Company headcount declined 8% year over year to 19,285 employees as of June 30, 2026, primarily in the Insights segment and reflecting the Digital Markets divestiture 29.
Risks (current)Gartner's revenues are concentrated among large enterprise customers, and government agency creditworthiness and budget cuts present additional demand risk particularly for the consulting business 29. Gartner faces competitive pressures in achieving customer renewals and expanding contract value, including a double-digit decline in public sector contract value, as well as risk related to the ability to service debt obligations 26 28. Additional risks include potential cybersecurity incidents affecting information systems, enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights, the uncertain impact of global minimum tax legislation, and the ability to attract and retain experienced personnel 28 29.

Gartner Business Model
What Gartner does and how the company earns its money, written AI-editorially from the original reports alone, without any assessment of our own. NadirAlpha methodology
Gartner is a global research and advisory company that delivers independent, objective insights and decision-support tools to senior business and technology leaders across industries. Gartner earns revenue through three segments: Insights, which provides subscription-based research, benchmarking, and advisory content to executives across IT, finance, HR, supply chain, marketing, and legal functions; Conferences, which generates fees from exhibitors and attendees at industry events held throughout the year; and Consulting, which provides project-based advisory services and benchmarking engagements on a labor-based billing model. The Insights segment is the largest revenue contributor, underpinned by multi-year subscription contracts whose aggregate size is tracked as contract value, providing a recurring revenue base. Conferences revenues are episodic and tied to event schedules, while Consulting revenues depend on staffing levels and project pipelines. The client base is concentrated among large enterprises and government agencies globally.

Gartner Development
The business development of Gartner period by period up to Q2 2026, each text from the original report of that period, source numbers lead to the source. NadirAlpha methodology
FY2026: Gartner
Gartner's first two reported quarters of fiscal 2026 were shaped by the February 2026 divestiture of the Digital Markets business for approximately $104.8 million net of cash transferred, which reduced year-over-year revenue comparisons while the Insights, Conferences, and Consulting segments each continued to operate 27. Q1 revenues totaled 1,511 million, with total revenues down 2% year-over-year attributed primarily to the divestiture; Insights revenues grew 3% and operating income increased to 316.1 million from $278.0 million in the prior-year period 27 28. Q2 revenues reached 1,675.9 million as Conferences revenues rose 15.5% to $244 million and Insights contract value grew 2% to $5.3 billion FX neutral; Consulting revenues declined 8.8% due to lower labor-based revenue particularly in Japan and EMEA 29 30. Adjusted EPS was up 11.4% at 3.32 in Q1 and up 23.8% at 4.37 in Q2, with diluted EPS of 4.14 in Q2 up 33.1% year-over-year 28 30. Gartner repurchased 3.3 million shares for $535 million in Q1 and 3.6 million shares for $547 million in Q2, with the Board authorizing additional repurchase capacity of $600 million in April 2026 and $500 million in July 2026 28 30.
FY2025: Gartner
Gartner generated full-year revenues of USD 6,497.2 million in 2025, an increase of 4% as reported and 3% on a foreign currency neutral basis compared to the prior year 26. The Business and Technology Insights segment, renamed from Research during Q2 2025, drove growth with Insights revenues up 5% and Conferences revenues up 11% for the year, while Consulting revenues declined 1% 26. Full-year net income was USD 729.2 million, lower year over year, primarily due to a $150.0 million goodwill impairment charge in the Digital Markets reporting unit recognized in Q3 2025, reflecting ongoing market weakness 26. Gartner repurchased 7.0 million common shares for approximately $2.0 billion in 2025 and completed its first investment-grade bond issuance, issuing $800 million in senior notes in November 2025 and bringing total debt principal to $3.0 billion at year-end 26. In January 2026, Gartner entered a definitive agreement to divest the Digital Markets business, which closed on February 5, 2026 for approximately $110.0 million 26.
FY2024: Gartner
Gartner reported full-year 2024 revenues of USD 6,267.4 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year as reported and on a foreign currency neutral basis 17. Net income grew 42% to USD 1,253.7 million, driven by a $300 million gain on event cancellation insurance claims and a lower effective tax rate, which decreased to 9.6% from 23.1% in the prior year primarily due to intercompany intellectual property transfers 18. Research revenues, representing approximately 77% of total revenues, grew 5% to $5.1 billion, with contract value up 8% on a foreign currency neutral basis to $5.3 billion 18. Conferences revenues increased 15% and Consulting revenues grew 9%, with the Conferences segment benefiting from 51 in-person events versus 47 in 2023 18. Operating cash flow increased 28% to USD 1,484.9 million for the full year, and net debt ended the year at USD 526.8 million 17.
FY2023: Gartner
Gartner's full-year 2023 revenues grew 8% to 5,907 million, with Research revenues up 6%, Conferences revenues up 30%, and Consulting revenues up 7% on a return to in-person destination conferences 10. The year included the February 2023 sale of non-core Research segment business TalentNeuron for approximately $161.1 million with a pre-tax gain of $135.4 million recognized in the first quarter 10. Full-year net income was 882.5 million, operating cash flow was 1,155.7 million, and adjusted EPS was 11.33 17 9. Research segment contract value closed at $4.8 billion, up 8% on a foreign currency-neutral basis, and net debt at year-end stood at 1,139.3 million 9 17.
