Gartner Investors Urged to Seek Lead-Plaintiff Role as May 18 Deadline Nears

Overview

• Four plaintiff firms urged Gartner investors to seek lead-plaintiff status by May 18, 2026.
• The class has not been certified, and investors are not represented until the court names a lead plaintiff.
• The proposed class covers purchases from February 4, 2025 through February 2, 2026.
• The complaint says Gartner overstated contract value growth, a yearly total of active research subscriptions, while downplaying seasonality and consulting risks.
• The suit ties a 27.55% drop on August 5, 2025 and a 20.87% drop on February 3, 2026 to disclosures of weaker CV growth and a consulting shortfall.
