Let's check out how things have shaped up for Gartner prior to the announcement.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Gartner’s fourth-quarter 2021 revenues is pegged at $1.26 billion, indicating growth of 13.1% from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
Going by segments, the Research segment is likely to have benefited from the temporary cost-avoidance initiatives, new business, client retention and contributions from the healthcare, technology, manufacturing, retail and services industries. The Consulting segment revenues are likely to have been aided by growth in labor-based revenues and strength across contract optimization business. The Conferences segment is expected to have been aided by contributions from some in-person events, besides the virtual conference mode, which has helped the company attain cost savings and operational efficiencies.
Solid operational performance is likely to have aided the bottom line. The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $2.46, implying year-over-year growth of 54.7%.
