Let's check out how things have shaped up for Gartner prior to the announcement.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Gartner’s first-quarter 2022 revenues is pegged at $1.24 billion, indicating growth of 12.5% from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
The Research segment is likely to have benefited from the temporary cost-avoidance initiatives, new business and client retention. The Consulting segment revenues are likely to have been aided by growth in labor-based revenues and strength across its 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.
Rising expenses are likely to have weighed on the bottom line. The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $1.89 per share, implying year-over-year decline of 5.5%.
