Oakmark Global Fund stated the following regarding Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is a global leader in research services, with a long history of delivering valuable insights and data to business and technology leaders. In our view, the company has the best brand in IT research, supported by its scale and a compelling customer value proposition. These advantages have driven a long history of strong organic growth and robust free-cash-flow conversion. The stock price has declined meaningfully from recent highs due to investor concerns surrounding AI-related disruption. We believe these concerns are overstated. In our view, Gartner is well-positioned to reaccelerate organic growth due to continued high customer engagement and the large opportunity to sell to new and existing customers. We took advantage of the opportunity to buy shares in this well managed company at a bargain price.”
