Gartner - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Gartner
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Gartner, Inc.:

Gartner, Inc. recently reported strong quarterly earnings, with an EPS of $5.45, significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $3.22. This indicates robust financial performance and effective management, which can attract investors looking for growth.
The stock price of Gartner, Inc. is currently at $422.96, reflecting a recent increase. A rising stock price can signal investor confidence and potential for further appreciation, making it an attractive option for those looking to invest.
Analysts have issued multiple buy ratings for Gartner, Inc., with a consensus price target of $536.63. This suggests that there is optimism about the company's future performance, which can be a positive indicator for potential investors.
The company has shown a year-over-year revenue growth of 8.1%, indicating a strong demand for its services and products. Consistent revenue growth is a key factor that investors look for when evaluating a company's potential.

Gartner
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Gartner, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26.40, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings. High P/E ratios can deter value investors who prefer stocks that are priced lower relative to their earnings.
Gartner, Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.81, suggesting that the company relies significantly on debt to finance its operations. High levels of debt can pose risks, especially in economic downturns, making it a concern for risk-averse investors.
Despite the positive earnings report, one analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, indicating that there are differing opinions on the stock's future performance. Mixed analyst ratings can create uncertainty for potential investors.
Insider transactions show that a director sold 1,200 shares recently, which could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance. Insider selling can raise red flags for investors who prefer to see insiders buying shares instead.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a 1-year high of $584.01 and a low of $409.50. Such fluctuations can be a concern for investors looking for stability in their investments.
