Business Description

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) delivers actionable, objective business and technology insights that drive smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization’s mission-critical priorities. We are a trusted advisor and an objective resource for over 13,000 enterprises in approximately 90 countries and territories— across every major function, geography, industry and sector. Gartner delivers its products and services globally through three reportable segments – Business and Technology Insights, Conferences and Consulting, as described below. In the second quarter of 2025, we renamed our segment previously referred to as Research to Business and Technology Insights (or “Insights”) to reflect the nature of the value we provide to clients. In the third quarter of 2025, we changed the structure of our internal organization and concluded that Gartner Digital Markets (“Digital Markets”) was an operating segment but does not meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Accordingly, Digital Markets results are now included in “Other” where segment information is provided. Digital Markets was previously included in our Insights segment. Prior periods have been recast to conform to current period presentation. On February 5, 2026, we completed the sale of Digital Markets for approximately $110.0 million, prior to customary purchase price adjustments. Insights equips executives and their teams from every major function, geography, industry and sector with actionable, objective insights, guidance and tools. Our experts deliver proprietary insights that are informed by thoroughly vetted practitioner-sourced and data-driven research to help our clients address their mission-critical priorities. Conferences provides executives and teams across an organization the opportunity to learn, share and network. From our Gartner Symposium/Xpo series, to industry-leading conferences focused on specific business roles and topics, to peer-driven sessions, our offerings enable attendees to experience the best of Gartner insights and guidance. Consulting serves senior executives leading technology-driven strategic initiatives leveraging the power of Gartner’s actionable, objective insight. Through custom analysis and on-the-ground support we enable optimized technology investments and stronger performance on our clients’ mission-critical priorities. The fiscal year of Gartner is the twelve-month period from January 1 through December 31. All references to 2025, 2024 and 2023 herein refer to the fiscal year unless otherwise indicated. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “Gartner,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Gartner, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. MARKET OVERVIEW Enterprise leaders face enormous pressure to stay ahead and grow profitably amidst constant change. Whether it is a digital transformation, cybersecurity risk mitigation, supply chain disruptions, large-scale regulatory changes, or other unique challenges, business leaders today are facing significant disruptive changes. We believe that enterprises cannot be operationally effective unless they incorporate the right strategy, management and technology decisions into every part of their business. This requirement affects all executives in every major function, enterprise size, geography, industry and market sector. Executives and their teams turn to Gartner for actionable, objective insights that drive smarter decisions and stronger performance on their mission-critical priorities. OUR SOLUTION We believe our combination of expert-led, practitioner-sourced and data-driven research steers clients toward the right decisions and actions on the issues that matter most.
