Important Securities Class Action Notice for Gartner Investors: Deadline Approaching
On March 18, 2026, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP announced an investigation into potential claims against Gartner, Inc. for alleged violations of federal securities laws. The leading national securities law firm encourages affected investors to take action as the deadline for filing as lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit approaches on May 18, 2026.
The firm is particularly focused on investors who purchased Gartner securities between February 4, 2025, and February 2, 2026. If you find yourself in this category and have incurred losses, Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson is available for consultation.

The allegations against Gartner revolve around misleading statements made by the company and its executives regarding their ability to achieve certain growth rates amid industry challenges. Specifically, statements suggesting that Gartner could maintain its revenue growth in the face of a shifting economic landscape were found to be misleading. The firm claims that Gartner's assurance of achieving 12-16% Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR) turned out to be unrealistic, given the actual circumstances.
The situation intensified on February 3, 2026, when Gartner reported its fourth-quarter financial results for 2025. The disclosure revealed that the projected revenue for 2026 would be at least $6.46 billion. This figure fell short of analysts' expectations, which had anticipated revenues of $6.71 billion. Additionally, Gartner's adjusted earnings per share were forecasted at $12.30, missing expectations ranging between $13.52 and $13.63. Following this news, Gartner's stock price saw a significant decline; it dropped by $42.24, marking a staggering 20.87% decrease, closing at $160.16 the same day.
The class action mechanism allows affected investors, termed lead plaintiffs, to guide the litigation process. To qualify, a lead plaintiff must demonstrate a substantial financial stake relevant to the claims of the class while also being a typical example of fellow class members. Investors may either choose to seek this designation or remain passive members of the class. Importantly, whether or not an investor serves as a lead plaintiff does not influence their ability to gain from any subsequent recovery in the case.
Faruqi & Faruqi is keen on gathering insights from potential whistleblowers, former employees, and shareholders familiar with Gartner's situation. Those with pertinent information can play a crucial role in the ongoing investigation. The law firm emphasizes that all outreach will maintain confidentiality.
