Current thesis

The constructive case is that Gartner enters 2026 with high visibility in Insights, strong conference bookings, a stated expectation for CV acceleration through the year, and meaningful repurchase capacity that can amplify EPS if demand stabilizes. The median analyst target in the packet, $192.67, sits well above the $147.71 anchor price.
