Gartner expected to beat Q3 contract growth estimates; UBS sees potential guidance upgrades

Gartner Inc is projected to report a 2.5% growth in third-quarter contract value, slightly above the 2.3% estimate by Visible Alpha, according to UBS. While net new contract value is expected to rise by $58 million, this is slightly lower than previous estimates. UBS anticipates a modest slowdown in contract growth excluding federal business due to challenging renewals. The firm may raise its 2026 revenue and earnings guidance, driven by margin improvements and increased contributions from Conferences and Consulting, despite some foreign exchange headwinds. UBS also expects reduced share buybacks in Q3 and has slightly lowered its adjusted earnings per share forecasts for 2026 and 2027 due to revenue pressures.
