Investors with losses may seek to lead Gartner, Inc. securities class action, according to The Gross Law Firm

Shareholders of Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) who purchased shares during the class period from February 4, 2025 to February 2, 2026 have been encouraged to contact the Gross Law Firm regarding a possible lead plaintiff appointment in a securities class action. Appointment as lead plaintiff is not required in order to participate in any recovery.

Class period and allegations

According to the complaint, during the class period the defendants allegedly provided investors with overwhelmingly positive statements while disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts about Gartner’s growth rates. The allegations specifically contend that Gartner was not equipped to handle ongoing industry challenges in a way that would allow it to meet consulting revenue targets or to increase or even maintain its expected contract value (“CV”) growth rate.

The complaint further alleges that Gartner’s repeated claims that it could achieve 12% to 16% CV growth rates in a “normal” macroeconomic environment were unrealistic.

Key disclosures and stock-price declines

On August 5, 2025, during an earnings call following a same-day press release announcing Gartner’s second quarter fiscal 2025 earnings, the defendants allegedly disclosed a decline in CV growth rates. The complaint states that Gartner’s overall CV growth declined from 7% in the prior quarter to 5%. It also alleges that ex-federal CV growth declined from 8% in the prior quarter to 6%.

Following this news, Gartner’s common stock price fell sharply. The stock closed at $336.71 per share on August 4, 2025 and fell to $243.93 per share on August 5, 2025, a decline of about 27.55% in one day.

On February 3, 2026, Gartner again allegedly announced a significant decline in its CV growth rate, which the complaint says fell by an additional 2% both including and excluding federal contracts. The complaint also states that Gartner for the first time disclosed a significant shortfall in the Consulting segment’s performance against the company’s internal projections.

After this announcement, the stock price declined again. Gartner’s common stock closed at $202.40 per share on February 2, 2026 and fell to $160.16 per share on February 3, 2026, a decline of nearly 20.87% in one day.

Deadline and next steps

The deadline to register is May 18, 2026. Shareholders are advised not to delay in registering for the class action.

According to the firm, once a shareholder registers as someone who purchased shares of IT during the timeframe listed above, they will be enrolled in a portfolio monitoring software to provide status updates throughout the lifecycle of the case. The deadline to seek to be a lead plaintiff is May 18, 2026. The firm states there is no cost or obligation to participate.
