Gartner's stock fell sharply by 5.15% during pre-market trading on Tuesday, following the release of its first-quarter 2026 financial results.

The technology research and advisory firm reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.32, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.91. However, quarterly revenue of approximately $1.511 billion missed the estimated $1.519 billion and represented a 1.5% decline compared to the same period last year.

Despite the revenue shortfall, the company reported strong cash flow growth and raised its full-year guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow. Gartner also announced an increase in its share repurchase authorization by $600 million in April.
