Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Gartner delivered Q1 2026 revenue up 2% reported with adjusted EPS of $3.32, up 11%, as CV growth showed early signs of acceleration to 1% overall and 3.5% excluding US federal headwinds that are approaching the lap point. EBITDA, EPS, and FCF all exceeded expectations, with full-year EPS guidance raised meaningfully to at least $13.25 (+7.7%) and EBITDA to at least $1.545B. Continued share buybacks reduced the count by 10% year-over-year, and client engagement metrics reached multi-year highs. A March decision slowdown from geopolitical uncertainty partially offset BTI transformation progress.
