Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP is reminding investors of the upcoming May 18, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a class action lawsuit against Gartner, Inc. The lawsuit alleges the company made materially false and misleading statements about its business and prospects, leading to significant stock price declines for shareholders who purchased Gartner common stock between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026.

Why it matters

This lawsuit highlights the potential legal risks and consequences for public companies that allegedly misrepresent their financial performance and outlook to investors. The case could set precedents around disclosure requirements and investor protections in the software and technology industry.

The details

The lawsuit claims Gartner failed to disclose that the company was not equipped to handle ongoing challenges in its industry, leading to a decline in its consulting revenue targets and contract value growth rate. This allegedly resulted in Gartner making materially misleading statements about its business and prospects during the class period.

  • Gartner released its Q2 2025 results on August 5, 2025, revealing a decline in contract value growth.
  • Gartner's stock price fell 27.6% on this news.
  • On February 3, 2026, Gartner disclosed its contract value growth had further declined to 1% year-over-year.
  • Gartner's stock price fell another 20.9% on this news.
