# Gartner Inc. (IT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / IT Services. Price $204.22, market value $12.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.6×** (5-yr avg 33.4×, 3-yr avg 32.4×). Gartner Inc. trades at 14.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 33.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 12.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 2.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.0×.
- **Price / book: 45.2×**. The shares trade at 45.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.9×**. Enterprise value is 10.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Earnings yield: 6.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 70.1%**. Gartner Inc. keeps 70.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 17.3%**. 17.3% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 11.2%**. 11.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 228.0%**. A 228.0% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 55.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 55.8%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 9.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 9.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 3.7%** (3-yr 5.9%/yr, 5-yr 9.6%/yr). Revenue grew 3.7% over the last year, against 9.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -39.7%** (3-yr -1.0%/yr, 5-yr 26.7%/yr). Earnings per share fell 39.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 9.32**. Debt is 9.32 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.0×**. It would take 1.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 1.00** (quick 1.00). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.27**. A Z-score of 2.27 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Gartner Inc. does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 20.4% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Analyst view
- **Analyst consensus: hold** (13 analysts). 13 analysts cover Gartner Inc.; the consensus is hold, with an average price target of $193.77 (-5% from the current price). Analyst opinion is shown for context; it is not part of the Fundamental Score.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -5.3%** (YTD -6.7%, 3-mo 55.3%). The shares are down 5.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -20.5%** (64.4% above the low). Trading 21% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 69**. An RSI of 69 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.37** (volatility 57%). Beta of 0.37 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
