In other recent news, Gartner Inc. has reported a 5% increase in its revenue, reaching $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2024. The company's earnings per share adjusted to $2.50. A significant driver of this growth was Gartner's research business, particularly its enterprise function leaders segment, which saw a 9% contract value growth. The company also benefited from a $300 million insurance payout due to conference cancellations.

Gartner's recent developments include raising its full-year guidance for revenue, EBITDA, EPS, and free cash flow. The company's balance sheet remains robust with $1.8 billion in cash and a gross debt to EBITDA ratio of under 2x. Gartner has projected a research revenue of at least $5.11 billion, conference revenue of at least $580 million, and consulting revenue of at least $535 million for 2024.
