Jim Cramer on Gartner: "I Don't Feel Compelled to Stick My Neck Out on This One at All"

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is one of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks Jim Cramer commented on. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and stated:

“Finally, the fifth worst performer in the S&P 500 in 2025 was Gartner, oh my god, this was formerly a really hot stock, the tech research firm down almost 48% last year. Gartner produces detailed research reports and offers advisory services for its mostly enterprise customers, helping them choose what technology products are right for their business. Now, this is another company that I think has been hammered by the rise of AI, which makes it easier for businesses to access this kind of information on their own. No need for research middleman like Gartner I guess. I don’t feel compelled to stick my neck out on this one at all.”

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is a research and advisory company that provides subscription-based insights, expert access, consulting services, and executive conferences. A caller inquired about the stock during the September 4, 2025, episode, and Cramer responded:

“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.”
