Data protection and AI regulation compliance
Compliance exposure to GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Chinese data protection laws and the EU AI Act
“the EU Artificial Intelligence Act ("EU AI Act") entered into force on August 1, 2024 and governs AI systems that impact individuals in the EU.”
Competition including AI-driven disruption
Limited barriers to entry; more competition expected from AI services adoption
“We anticipate encountering more competition with increased adoption of AI services in the markets in which we compete.”
Digital Markets demand weakness
Ongoing market weakness and internal reorganization led to a lowered long-term earnings forecast for Digital Markets
“During the three months ended September 30, 2025, ongoing weakness in the market as well as changes in the Company’s internal organization structure prompted a revision to the long-term earnings forecast for the Digital Markets business.”
AI disruption and competition risk
AI/LLM adoption may increase competition, reduce website traffic, and clients loading proprietary content into LLMs could reduce value of offerings
“Although generally contractually prohibited, clients or others may load our proprietary information into large language models, which could reduce the value of our offerings.”
Key forward-looking risk factors
AI competition/regulation, talent retention, government exposure, geopolitical and tax risks
“our ability to keep pace with technological developments in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and comply with evolving AI regulations”
Conference business exposure to external events
Conferences vulnerable to communicable diseases, travel restrictions, weather and geopolitical events; 2025 insurance excludes communicable disease cancellations
“Our insurance coverage for 2025 (and likely beyond) excludes coverage for cancellations due to communicable diseases.”
Concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk concentrated in cash equivalents, fees receivable, contract assets, interest rate swaps, and a pension reinsurance asset; low customer concentration due to diverse base
“Assets that may subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of short-term, highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, fees receivable, contract assets, interest rate swaps and a pension reinsurance asset.”
Climate change exposure of large offices
Large offices in Connecticut, Florida, India, UK, Spain and Australia vulnerable to climate change effects
“We have large offices in Connecticut, Florida, India, the United Kingdom, Spain and Australia, and other locations that are vulnerable to climate change effects.”

AI adoption may increase competition, alter revenue generation, and clients loading proprietary data into LLMs could erode subscription value.
“We anticipate encountering more competition with increased adoption of AI services in the markets in which we compete.”
Gartner expects more competition as AI services adoption increases in its markets; keeping pace with AI developments and complying with evolving AI regulations is a disclosed risk.
“We anticipate encountering more competition with increased adoption of AI services in the markets in which we compete.”
GTS contract value, which includes sales to users and providers of technology, is a core component of Insights contract value alongside GBS sales to functional leaders.
“Our contract value consists of Global Technology Sales contract value, which includes sales to users and providers of technology, and Global Business Sales contract value, which includes sales to all other functional leaders.”
US federal government Insights contract value of ~$126.0M at 12/31/2025 with less than half of prior-year value retained and ~$3.0M of termination-for-convenience notices, signaling government budget/shutdown risk.
“Less than half of our December 31, 2024 Insights contract value was retained in 2025.”
Economic slowdowns, inflation and rising interest rates could reduce demand for subscriptions, consulting and in-person conferences.
“A downturn in growth could negatively and materially affect future demand for our products and services in general, in certain geographic regions, in particular countries, or industry sectors, or could reduce demand for our in-person conferences.”
Management cites unpredictable geopolitical environment, Middle East tensions, war in Ukraine, sanctions, tariffs and trade policy volatility as factors affecting business and financial performance.
“As the current geopolitical environment remains unpredictable, we continue to monitor and evaluate the impact, both direct and indirect, of government actions that could adversely impact our business operations and financial performance.”
Gartner depends on attracting and retaining professional analysts, consultants and experienced sales personnel amid labor competition; retention is a disclosed risk factor.
“our ability to attract and retain a professional staff of analysts and consultants as well as experienced sales personnel upon whom we are dependent, especially in light of labor competition”
International revenues in local currencies fluctuate against the USD; only limited forward contract hedging.
“While we use forward exchange contracts to a limited extent to seek to mitigate foreign currency risk, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.”
Creditworthiness, budget cuts, priorities and shutdown of governments and agencies are disclosed risks that can reduce government demand for Gartner insights.
“risks associated with the creditworthiness, budget cuts, priorities and shutdown of governments and agencies”
The 2024 Credit Agreement's negative covenant restricts Gartner's capital-return flexibility on dividends while it executes large share repurchases partly funded by borrowings.
“the 2024 Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends”
EU AI Act compliance may impose significant costs and necessitate changes to business practices.
“Complying with the EU AI Act and similar emerging laws may impose significant costs on our business and may necessitate changes to certain business practices.”
Recurring lease impairments (2023-2025) and a $48M lease-amendment payment reflect costs from rightsizing leased office space, with fair value dependent on sublease assumptions.
“the Company entered into an amended lease agreement to significantly reduce the square footage and reduce future lease payments at one of its leased locations”
Pillar Two 15% global minimum tax could materially increase effective tax rate as rules are finalized.
“Enactment of this and similar legislation could significantly increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business.”
Event cancellation insurance litigation for 2020-2021 conferences was fully resolved via a $300.0 million settlement received in 2024, removing residual legal/insurance recovery exposure from those claims.
“The settlement resolved all remaining 2020 and 2021 event cancellation insurance claims.”
Extreme weather and climate events could disrupt offices, vendors and clients, and reduce conference travel; insurance excludes communicable disease cancellations.
“the increasing frequency and impact of extreme weather events on critical infrastructure in the U.S. and elsewhere have the potential to disrupt our business”
