Gartner's stock surged 6.75% in pre-market trading following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results that exceeded analyst expectations on key metrics.

The technology research and advisory firm reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.94, beating the consensus estimate of $3.51 by 12.35%. Quarterly sales reached $1.753 billion, also surpassing the $1.749 billion estimate. While these figures represent decreases compared to the same period last year, the significant beat on expectations appears to have driven investor optimism.

Additionally, the company announced that its board authorized an increase in share repurchases by $500 million in January 2026, providing further support for the stock price. Gartner also provided forward-looking guidance for adjusted EPS and full-year revenue, contributing to the positive market reaction during the pre-market session.
