Gartner shares rose 7.5% after the research and advisory company reported second-quarter results that exceeded expectations and raised its full-year guidance. The company posted adjusted earnings of $4.37 per share, up 23.8% year-over-year. Revenue totalled $1.7 billion, with adjusted revenue increasing 2.8% despite a 0.6% decline in reported revenue. Foreign exchange-neutral contract value reached $5.3 billion, up 1.7% from the prior year. Free cash flow grew 8.9% to $378 million. Gartner repurchased 3.6 million shares for $547 million during the quarter, and its board approved an additional $500 million for share buybacks in July 2026. Conference revenue led segment growth, rising 15.5% to $244 million. Chairman and CEO Gene Hall noted that contract value growth accelerated again, with key metrics surpassing expectations.
Gartner is set to report its second-quarter earnings on Tuesday before the market opens. The research and advisory firm is expected to see revenues decline 2.4% year on year, reversing the 5.7% increase recorded in the same quarter last year. In the previous quarter, Gartner met revenue expectations with $1.51 billion, down 1.5% year on year, whilst beating analysts' earnings per share estimates. Analysts have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days. Gartner shares have risen 11.8% over the past month, outperforming the IT services and consulting segment's average gain of 2.6%. The average analyst price target stands at $160.38, compared to the current share price of $151.02.
Gartner has raised its 2026 global IT spending forecast to $6.37 trillion, up from an April projection of $6.31 trillion, citing surging artificial intelligence investments. The revised figure represents a 14.2% increase from 2025 levels. The research firm attributes the growth to continued AI infrastructure expansion, particularly in data centre systems and AI-optimised servers. "AI infrastructure growth remains rapid despite concerns about an AI bubble," said Gartner's John-David Lovelock. The forecast comes amid mounting pressure on companies to demonstrate AI returns. Nearly 90% of finance leaders face demands to tie AI spending to business outcomes within a year, though only 22% have achieved this, according to Cloudzero research. Investor concerns persist, with nine in 10 expressing worries about AI investments and 28% fearing inflated expectations.
VIVERE Group selects Rimini Street to strengthen SAP Support and accelerate business transformation. Indonesia-based integrated interior and furnishing solutions provider gains expert SAP support, freedom and capacity to advance transformation on its own terms Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), the Software Support and Agentic AI ERP Company(TM) and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, today announced VIVERE Group, a leading Indonesian one-stop solution provider for interior contracting, furniture manufacturing and furnishing, has selected Rimini Support(TM) for SAP to help maintain business continuity, strengthen support for its critical SAP ECC environment and free internal IT resources to focus on digital transformation initiatives. Strengthening SAP support while advancing transformation Founded in 1984 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange since 2002, PT Gema Graham Sarana Tbk (IDX: GEMA) has grown into the core company of VIVERE Group, running SAP ECC 6 on IBM Db2 as a critical platform supporting operations across project-based work, manufacturing and distribution. Faced with the end of support for its ECC system and a push to migrate to S/4HANA, VIVERE sought the advice of Gartner on roadmap options. Based on the conversations and peer recommendations, VIVERE determined that its investments would be best allocated to innovation rather than a costly, time-consuming upgrade to S/4HANA. "Our core philosophy is to keep people, quality and business continuity at the center of our technology decisions," said Sutrisno Yao, Head of IT at VIVERE Group. "Technology should be a practical enabler that supports reliable operations, improves processes and strengthens the business without creating unnecessary disruption." VIVERE selected Rimini Street as its strategic partner, benefitting from immediate cost savings, expert SAP support and the ability to modernize on top of its existing systems. "Rimini Street gives us confidence that our SAP environment is well supported, while giving our internal team more room to focus on improvements that help the business move forward," said Yao. Unlocking capacity for process improvement and future growth As the company continues to grow and modernize, its IT team is focused on strengthening integration, improving process consistency and supporting broader digital transformation across the business. "Our initial goal was clear: protect business continuity, strengthen SAP support and free up our internal team to focus on higher-value priorities," Yao noted. "Rimini Street helps my team spend less time firefighting SAP and more time supporting process improvements and higher-value business needs." "In today's highly competitive, volatile market, lowering the cost to operate and freeing up capital and talent is no longer a choice," said Nancy Lyskawa, EVP and Chief Client Officer, Rimini Street. "Forward-thinking companies such as VIVERE Group are choosing Rimini Street to not only create capacity for innovation, but to deliver it."

Gartner's stock has plunged 66% over the past year despite the company's aggressive share buyback programme. The research and advisory firm has repurchased $3.8 billion of its own stock over three years, representing 40% of its current market capitalisation. In the most recent quarter alone, Gartner bought back $535 million worth of shares, reducing its share count by over 4%. The buybacks are supported by healthy financials, with net debt to equity of 0.17 and operating cash flow at 185% of net income. The market's concerns centre on slowing growth. Contract value rose just 1% year-over-year last quarter, whilst consulting revenue fell to $119 million from $140 million. Management attributed the slowdown to clients delaying decisions in March due to geopolitical uncertainty.
