Insights

Equity Capital Allocation Analyst

Gartner expands its share repurchase capacity by $500 million while highlighting year-end 2025 results.

Gartner’s Board approved up to an additional $500.0 million of share repurchases, on top of a prior program authorizing up to $7.0 billion. As of the end of December 2025, approximately $750 million from the earlier authorization remained available, indicating ongoing use of buybacks as a capital return tool.

The filing does not specify a timeframe or pace for these repurchases, and the company states it is not obligated to repurchase any particular amount. Activity will depend on market conditions, legal requirements, and internal considerations, so the actual impact on share count and per-share metrics will emerge over time.

Gartner also highlighted that it released financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and scheduled a webcast on February 3, 2026 to discuss performance. Subsequent investor materials and discussions may provide more detail on how buybacks fit alongside other capital allocation priorities.
