On August 5, the company posted Q2 2025 financial results, with revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, and FCF ahead of expectations. Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) noted that the challenging Q1 2025 selling environment, which was impacted by DOGE and tariff-affected industry spending changes, continued through Q2 2025.

“Modest declines from the Fund’s sizable positions in Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) and Roper Technologies, Inc. also contributed to relative weakness in the sector. Syndicated research provider Gartner was negatively impacted by reductions in government spending in its public sector business. We estimate U.S. federal exposure accounts for about 5% of Gartner’s total research contract value, with about half from the Department of Defense and intelligence organizations, and half from civilian agencies. While federal budget scrutiny remains high, we believe Gartner’s services deliver significant value to users, including the potential for hard dollar savings. Its private sector business appears well positioned for sustained growth, and management is adept at exercising cost controls to support margins and free cash flow generation. The company’s balance sheet is in excellent shape, and we expect management to take advantage of this drawdown through aggressive share repurchases.”
