Description: IT Gartner December 19, 2025
Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is a global research and advisory firm that monetizes its expertise through three primary segments: Research (subscription-based access to reports, benchmarks, and expert networks), Conferences (in-person and virtual events for executive learning and networking), and Consulting (custom analysis and implementation support for IT cost optimization, digital transformation, and sourcing). The company operates across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and other international markets, with its corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
According to Gartner’s FY 2023 filing, total revenue reached $5.1 billion, up ~5 % year-over-year, driven primarily by a 7 % increase in Research subscription revenue and a 3 % rise in Consulting services. The firm posted an operating margin of roughly 22 %, reflecting the high-margin nature of subscription and advisory businesses, while free cash flow generated $1.1 billion, supporting ongoing share buybacks and dividend growth.
Key macro-economic drivers for Gartner include sustained growth in corporate IT spending (projected 4-5 % CAGR through 2027) and accelerated digital transformation initiatives prompted by cloud migration and AI adoption. Additionally, cost-containment pressures in enterprise IT budgets elevate demand for Gartner’s cost-optimization and sourcing advisory services, positioning the company to benefit from both top-line expansion and higher-margin consulting engagements.
