Gartner’s Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pinned at $1.5 billion, rising 2.3% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.

The consensus estimate for the Business and Technology Insights segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.3 billion, suggesting 3.1% year-over-year growth. We expect this segment to have been fueled by addressing high-demand topics for clients, particularly AI.

The consensus estimate for Consulting revenues is set at $133 million, implying a 13.1% drop from that reported in the same quarter last year. For Conferences, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $77 million, suggesting a decline of 69.3% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.

The consensus estimate for earnings per share is $2.41, hinting at a year-over-year fall of 3.6%.
