IT --
Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT), a leading global research and advisory firm, reported its third-quarter 2024 financial results, showcasing robust growth and a compelling client value proposition. The company's contract value grew high single digits, reaching $5.0 billion, a 7.3% increase year-over-year (YoY) on a foreign exchange (FX) neutral basis. This impressive performance was driven by strong growth in both Global Technology Sales (GTS CV) and Global Business Sales (GBS CV), which increased 6.1% and 11.6% YoY, respectively.

Gartner's strategic initiatives and effective management have been instrumental in driving this growth. The company's ability to carry out its plans while managing associated costs, coupled with its hedging strategies and resilience against economic downturns, has contributed to its financial stability and growth. Additionally, Gartner's large addressable market and compelling client value proposition have positioned it well for long-term, sustained, double-digit growth.

The company's revenue growth in Q3 2024 was equally impressive, with revenues of $1.5 billion, up 5.4% YoY on a reported basis and 5.6% FX neutral. This growth was supported by a 130.6% increase in net income and a 135.4% increase in diluted EPS. Gartner's adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS were also ahead of expectations, indicating effective risk management and cost control.

Gartner's strong financial performance in Q3 2024 is a testament to its ability to navigate market challenges and maintain a path to long-term growth. The company's contract value growth trajectory has been consistent over the past few years, with high single-digit growth in both GTS CV and GBS CV. This trend indicates Gartner's ability to expand its client base and maintain strong relationships with existing clients.


Gartner's growth outpaces that of its closest peer, International Business Machines (IBM), which reported a contract value growth of +5.5% in Q3 2024. Gartner's strong contract value growth, coupled with its high revenue growth (+5.6% FX neutral), indicates a robust business performance and a promising outlook for the company.


In conclusion, Gartner's Q3 2024 earnings call demonstrated the company's ability to deliver strong financial performance and maintain a path to long-term, sustained, double-digit growth. With a compelling client value proposition, large addressable market, and effective strategic initiatives, Gartner is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and create value for shareholders. As an investor, Gartner's strong fundamentals, low-risk business model, and favorable market trends make it an attractive investment opportunity.
