Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what IT's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. IT trades near $125.73, below its 50-day average ($153.68) and 200-day average ($201.08). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 29 it is oversold — selling has been heavy and a bounce is possible.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. IT's is $8.31 (~6.6% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month IT found buyers near $133.27 (support) and sellers near $180.45 (resistance); its 52-week range is $133.27–$409.95. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.9× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Our model rates IT Neutral (49/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
4Y CAGR
8.2%
Revenue moved from $4.73B in 2021 to $6.50B in 2025, a 8.2% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year was roughly flat (2.3%) year over year. Slower, mature growth is common for established businesses.
Gross Margin
68.8%
Operating Margin
15.8%
Net Margin
11.2%
ROE
119.8%
Gartner keeps about 11.4% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 68.8% gross margin and 15.8% operating margin. Return on equity is 119.8% and return on invested capital about 48.0%. Margins are moderate — typical of a competitive but profitable business.
Total Debt
$1.63B
Net Debt
-$38.25M
Net cash position
Net Debt / EBITDA
-0.04x
Debt / Equity
9.32x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 9.3x, and operating profit covers interest about 7.7x, with a current ratio of 0.9x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $1.63B of total debt against $1.67B of cash.
Operating CF
$1.29B
Free Cash Flow
$1.18B
FCF Margin
18.1%
In the latest year Gartner produced about $1.29B of operating cash flow and $1.18B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 9.9% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.
P/E

P/S

P/B

EV / EBITDA
7.74x
IT trades at 11.6x trailing earnings (about 16.6x on estimated forward earnings), 1.5x sales, and 50.9x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly -4.2% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is an undemanding multiple — potentially cheap if the business is stable.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for IT:
- Strong return on equity (119.8%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~9.9%) funds buybacks and dividends.
The case against IT:
- Revenue growth is slow (2.3%), limiting the upside engine.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 9.3x) adds financial risk.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 9.3x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (2.3%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the picture is mixed: Gartner is a mid-cap information technology business growing at a mature pace, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 11.6x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (49/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
