Gartner stock was trading at USD 179.71 on NYSE on September 23, 2026 at 3:12 p.m. ET, up 0.53 percent from USD 178.75. The price stood 32.4 percent below the 52-week high of USD 265.85, putting the recent earnings improvement against a still subdued valuation backdrop.
Q2 EPS beat reaches 15.9 percent
According to TradingView in its September 2026 report, Gartner delivered adjusted EPS of USD 4.37 in Q2 2026. That result exceeded the USD 3.77 consensus estimate by 15.9 percent and increased 23.8 percent from USD 3.53 in Q2 2025.
Revenue reached USD 1.68 billion in Q2 2026, beating the USD 1.65 billion consensus by 1.8 percent. Reported revenue declined 0.6 percent year over year, while adjusted revenue rose 2.8 percent, highlighting the effect of the prior-year comparison.
Guidance rises to USD 14.00
Gartner lifted its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to at least USD 14.00 from USD 13.25. The change gives investors a clearer earnings benchmark after the Q2 beat, but the revenue comparison remains the central operating issue.
The company operates across research, conferences and consulting, with subscription research forming its largest business area. Gartner's Q2 adjusted EPS growth therefore carries more weight than the reported revenue decline because it combines cost discipline with higher earnings conversion.
Stock remains below yearly high
Gartner stock had a market capitalization of USD 12,031,591,010 on September 23, 2026. Its NYSE price of USD 179.71 and 0.53 percent intraday gain show a modest session response, while the 32.4 percent gap to the yearly high keeps the earnings benchmark important for valuation analysis.
