Gartner, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

The Research segment is likely to have benefited from distinct sales channels, new business and client retention. The Consulting segment’s revenues are likely to have been aided by growth in labor-based revenues and strength in its contract optimization business. The Conferences segment is expected to have been aided by contributions from some in-person events, besides the virtual conference mode, which helped Gartner attain cost savings and operational efficiencies.
Rising expenses are likely to have weighed on the bottom line. The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $1.85 per share, implying a decline of 8.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
