Gartner Inc. Reports Q2 2026 Results; $500M Share Repurchase

What Happened

• On August 4, 2026, Gartner, Inc. announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and furnished a press release (Exhibit 99.1) with details. The company held a webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET on August 4, 2026 and made an earnings supplement available on its investor website (https://investor.gartner.com).
• On July 30, 2026, Gartner’s Board authorized an incremental share repurchase program of up to $500.0 million, in addition to a previously authorized $8.1 billion program (approximately $640.0 million remained under that prior authorization as of end of July 2026).

Key Details

• Filing date: August 4, 2026; fiscal period covered: three months ended June 30, 2026.
• Incremental buyback: $500.0 million authorized by the Board on July 30, 2026.
• Prior authorization: up to $8.1 billion total, with about $640.0 million remaining as of end of July 2026.
• Repurchases may be executed through open market purchases, trading plans under SEC rules, accelerated repurchases, private transactions or other means; the company has no obligation to repurchase a specific amount and may suspend repurchases at any time.

Why It Matters

• The filing confirms Gartner has reported its quarterly results and is increasing its capacity to return capital to shareholders via buybacks.
• A $500M incremental repurchase authorization expands the company’s flexibility to reduce shares outstanding or support the stock, but does not guarantee any specific timing or amount of purchases.
• Investors should review the press release and earnings supplement on Gartner’s investor site for the detailed financial metrics (revenue, earnings, guidance) included with the Q2 2026 results.
