Gartner stock (ISIN US3666511072) was trading at EUR 163.48 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026, up 0.09 percent versus the prior close of EUR 163.33. The central investor reference is Gartner's second-quarter 2026 earnings beat, although reported revenue declined 0.6 percent year over year.
Adjusted EPS beats consensus
According to Zacks on September 9, 2026, Gartner delivered adjusted EPS of USD 4.37 in Q2 2026, beating the USD 3.77 consensus by 15.9 percent and rising 23.8 percent from USD 3.53 in the year-ago quarter. Revenue reached USD 1.68 billion against a USD 1.65 billion consensus, a 1.8 percent beat.
The comparison is important because the revenue result was mixed. Yahoo Finance reported on September 3, 2026, that adjusted revenue increased 2.8 percent year over year, while reported revenue fell 0.6 percent because the prior-year period included the divested Digital Markets operation.
Guidance shifts toward profit
Zacks also reported that Gartner raised fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to at least USD 14.00 from USD 13.25 and lifted free cash flow guidance to at least USD 1.185 billion. Global contract value reached USD 5.30 billion in Q2 2026, up 1.7 percent year over year on a foreign-currency-neutral basis.
Analyst expectations remain restrained relative to the earnings beat. MarketBeat reported on September 8, 2026, that 11 analysts held a consensus rating of Hold with an average 12-month price target of USD 187.30. That target is a USD 23.82 premium to the Lang & Schwarz price, but the currencies and venues differ, so the figures are not combined into one performance measure.
Stock awaits the next report
Nasdaq lists November 3, 2026 as Gartner's estimated next earnings date, while noting that the date is algorithmically derived rather than company-confirmed. Gartner's business spans research, conferences and consulting, making the Q2 split between stronger conferences growth and weaker consulting revenue an important operating contrast.
