IT Investor Alert: Gartner, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit - Investors With Losses May Seek to Lead the Class Action After Allegedly Misleading Institutional Shareholders: SueWallSt

Notice to Pension Funds, Asset Managers, and Fiduciaries

NEW YORK , May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Institutional investors holding positions in Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) during the period between February 4, 2025, and February 2, 2026, may wish to evaluate lead plaintiff opportunities in a pending securities class action. Request an institutional investor loss assessment . You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com  or (888) SueWallSt.

Gartner shares fell from a Class Period high of $336.71 to $160.16, representing a decline exceeding 52%. Two separate corrective disclosures revealed that the Company's contract value growth trajectory and Consulting segment performance had deteriorated well beyond what management had represented to the market. The Court has set May 18, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.

Notice to Institutional Holders

Pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, and other fiduciaries that held Gartner common stock during the Class Period should assess whether portfolio losses warrant active participation in this litigation. Institutions with substantial holdings are often well-positioned to serve as lead plaintiff, providing oversight of the litigation on behalf of the entire class.

Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options

• Fiduciaries holding Gartner stock may have an obligation to evaluate recovery options on behalf of plan participants and beneficiaries
• Lead plaintiffs oversee the litigation, select counsel, and approve settlements on behalf of all class members
• Serving as lead plaintiff carries no additional financial obligation; attorneys' fees are paid from any recovery
• Institutional lead plaintiffs historically secure larger recoveries for shareholder classes
• Absent class members retain their right to participate in any recovery without serving as lead plaintiff
• ERISA fiduciaries should document their evaluation of this recovery opportunity as part of prudent plan management

Portfolio Impact Assessment

The lawsuit contends that Gartner and certain officers issued materially misleading statements about the Company's contract value growth trajectory and Consulting segment outlook, creating artificial inflation in Gartner's stock price throughout the Class Period. Two corrective disclosures removed that inflation: the August 5, 2025 revelation of accelerating CV growth deterioration produced a 27.55% single-day decline, and the February 3, 2026 disclosure of further CV deceleration alongside a Consulting segment shortfall produced an additional 20.87% single-day decline.

Case Summary

The action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 on behalf of purchasers of Gartner common stock between February 4, 2025, and February 2, 2026.

"Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions by providing experienced oversight and helping ensure the class receives maximum recovery. The allegations in this matter raise important questions about whether Gartner's repeated assurances of 12% to 16% CV growth in a 'normal' environment were grounded in the operational realities management was observing internally."  -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
