Gartner stock fell sharply following its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings announcement. While the company beat fourth-quarter earnings and revenue estimates, with revenues rising 2.2% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, its 2026 guidance disappointed investors. Gartner forecasted 2026 total revenue of $6.46 billion, below analyst expectations of $6.71 billion and down from $6.5 billion in 2025. The company projected 2026 net income of approximately $809 million, below analyst forecasts of $979.4 million, though up from $729 million in 2025. The company attributed the downbeat outlook to slowing demand at its consulting unit, citing enterprises scaling back spending amid economic headwinds and choppy customer demand. Shares were down 5.1% in premarket trading following the results announcement.
