Executive summary
Gartner is a research and advisory company that sells insights, benchmarks and advice to executives in technology, supply chain, finance, marketing and other functions. Clients pay for subscriptions to its research and for access to analysts. The company also runs conferences and offers consulting services. Most revenue comes from recurring research subscriptions, which depend on clients renewing their contracts, while events and consulting add further income.
Over the latest twelve months the company reported revenue of $6.5 billion, and annual revenue rose by 5.9% on average across three years. Profitability at the operating level stands at 17.3%, and return on invested capital came to 50%. The company carries net debt of 1.4 times its EBITDA. No dividend is paid.
StocksXray gives Gartner Inc an X-Ray Score of 60 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 80% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (91) and its weakest is growth (28).
Our fair value blend is $417.98 (range $384.55 to $456.10). At $205.35 the stock trades 51% below that blend, so the label is "Undervalued" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
