(IT) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz About Securities Fraud Lawsuit **Deadline Soon: Gartner, Inc. (IT) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz About Securities Fraud Lawsuit** The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz reminds investors of the upcoming **May 18, 2026** deadline to participate as a lead plaintiff in the securities fraud class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who acquired Gartner, Inc. (“Gartner” or the “Company”) (NYSE: IT) common stock between **February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026**, inclusive (the “Class Period”). **IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON GARTNER, INC. (IT), CLICK** **HERE** **TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT.** **What Happened?** On August 5, 2025, Gartner released its second quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a decline in the Company’s contract value (“CV”) growth rate from 7% the previous quarter to only 5%. On this news, Gartner’s stock price fell $92.78, or 27.6%, to close at $243.93 per share on August 5, 2025, thereby injuring investors. Then, on February 3, 2026, Gartner disclosed that its CV growth rate had continued to decline, as “fourth quarter contract value or CV grew 1% year-over-year.” On this news, Gartner’s stock price fell $42.24, or 20.9%, to close at $160.16 per share on February 3, 2026, thereby injuring investors further. **What Is The Lawsuit About?** The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company was not truly equipped to handle ongoing challenges in its industry to either meet consulting revenue targets or to increase or even maintain its CV growth rate; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. **If you purchased or otherwise acquired Gartner common stock between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, the deadline to seek appointment as the lead plaintiff in the securities fraud class action is May 18, 2026.** **Contact Us To Participate or Learn More:** If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit, please contact us: Frank R.
