“Okay, I have always loved this stock, but you know what? That last quarter… [left] a lot to be desired, and it has made me feel that you have to wait for one, you have to wait to see the next one because… Could it really just be one bad quarter? That was a nasty one. So I’m going to have to say, let’s wait and see.”

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is a research and advisory company that provides subscription-based insights, expert access, consulting services, and executive conferences. The company helps organizations with strategy, digital transformation, and IT optimization. Baron Asset Fund stated the following regarding Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“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.”
