Net Income and EPS Performance

GARTNER INC · 2026-11-03 · Importance 50 · Surprise 46 · From source text

Third-quarter net income rose to $214.4 million in 2026 from $35.4 million in 2025, and nine-month net income increased to $712.3 million from $487.1 million. Diluted earnings per share increased $2.88 for the quarter and $4.31 for the nine-month period. The increases primarily reflected the prior-year $150.0 million goodwill impairment and lower operating expenses, partly offset by lower revenue and higher net interest expense; fewer diluted weighted-average shares also lifted EPS.
