GARTNER INC 8-K

What Happened

• Gartner, Inc. announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and furnished a press release (Exhibit 99.1) with those results. The company hosted a webcast to discuss first-quarter 2026 results on May 5, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET and posted an earnings supplement on its investor website.

Key Details

• Board authorized incremental share repurchases of up to $600.0 million on April 30, 2026.
• This $600M authorization is in addition to a previously approved repurchase program of up to $7.5 billion, which had approximately $640.0 million remaining as of the end of April 2026.
• Repurchases may be made via open market purchases, trading plans, accelerated repurchases, private transactions or other means; the company is not obligated to buy any specific amount and may suspend repurchases at any time.
• Press release reporting Q1 2026 results is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K.

Why It Matters

• Quarterly results give investors the primary update on Gartner’s recent revenue and profit trends; the press release and webcast are the first sources for those metrics.
• The additional $600M buyback authorization increases the company’s capacity to return capital to shareholders, which can support earnings per share and signal confidence from the Board, though repurchases are discretionary and subject to market and legal conditions.
• Investors should review the press release and earnings supplement for the specific revenue, EPS and guidance details released on May 5, 2026 before making decisions.
