Adjusted EPS came in at $3.53, clearing the $3.31 consensus by 6.80%, while revenue of $1.69 billion edged past estimates by 0.74% and grew 5.7% year-over-year. The single clearest driver of the beat was momentum in the company's Conferences segment, which surged 13.6% to $211.40 million and outpaced every other division, while the newly rebranded Business and Technology Insights segment, formerly called Research, contributed a steady $1.32 billion. Contract value, a key forward indicator for Gartner's subscription model, reached $5.00 billion, growing 4.9% on an FX neutral basis, with Global Business Sales showing particularly strong traction at +9.2%. The company also rolled out AskGartner, an AI-powered client tool CEO Gene Hall highlighted as a key retention and upselling lever. Gartner updated its full-year 2025 outlook, with detailed guidance available on its Investor Relations website, signaling continued confidence in the business despite broader competitive pressures facing the sector.
