Law Firms Urge Gartner Investors Before Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline in Contract‑Value Growth Suit
Investors face a May 18 deadline to seek lead‑plaintiff status.
Overview
- Multiple investor law firms renewed calls Tuesday for Gartner shareholders to seek counsel before the May 18 deadline to ask the court to lead the case.
- The case is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut and no class has been certified.
- Plaintiffs allege Gartner misled investors about its ability to meet consulting targets and to sustain growth in contract value, a key subscription metric.
- After Gartner reported on August 5, 2025 that contract‑value growth slowed to 5%, the stock fell $92.78, or 27.6%.
- Following a February 3, 2026 disclosure that fourth‑quarter contract value grew 1% year over year, shares dropped $42.24, or 20.9%.
