Index removal meets stronger trading

The index change is the latest dated company-specific market event for Gartner, while the October 1 price move gives the stock a much stronger daily signal. The Lang & Schwarz quote stood 6.82 percent above the prior close, making the current session the dominant short-term data point.

The broader valuation picture is more restrained. Gartner's market capitalization was USD 13.4 billion as of October 1, 2026, while its 52-week range was USD 124.25 to USD 261.84.

Second-quarter earnings beat estimates

According to Yahoo Finance on September 3, 2026, Gartner reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 4.37 for the second quarter of 2026, versus a USD 3.77 consensus estimate. The result was 15.92 percent above consensus and 23.80 percent above the USD 3.53 adjusted earnings per share reported for the second quarter of 2025.

Revenue reached USD 1.68 billion in the second quarter of 2026, ahead of the USD 1.65 billion consensus estimate by 1.82 percent. Reported revenue declined 0.60 percent year over year, reflecting the divestiture of the Digital Markets operation, so the earnings beat came alongside a more mixed top-line picture.

RBC target reaches USD 198

MarketScreener reported on September 4, 2026 that RBC raised its Gartner price target from USD 164 to USD 198 while keeping a Sector Perform rating. The target increase was 20.73 percent, but the rating remained neutral rather than bullish.

Gartner also raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance to at least USD 14 from USD 13.25, according to Yahoo Finance. The same report said adjusted revenue guidance was reduced to at least USD 6.38 billion from USD 6.41 billion, while the free cash flow forecast increased to at least USD 1.19 billion from USD 1.16 billion.

Next earnings date is November 3

Nasdaq lists November 3, 2026 as Gartner's estimated next earnings announcement date. That date gives the market a defined point for testing whether higher profitability guidance can offset the weaker revenue outlook.
