Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
IT Consulting & Other Services is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Contract Value grows at least 3% YoY FX neutral: contract value growth -1.5% vs 3%.
View ThesisRevenue growth is slowing — up about 2% over the past year and decelerating.
View GrowthRanks among the strongest in its industry on quality — around the top 10%.
View QualityManagement screens strong on capital allocation.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 63% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskGartner's growth in contract value must continue to justify its current price. Revenue fell 1.5% year over year, but the last quarter beat expectations by 13.7%. It trades at 11× P/E, below the peer median of 13×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than forecasted. A specific risk is the potential for a credibility hit if guidance is cut. Peer multiples imply a price about 36% above where it trades. Our read is provisional.

Top 10% on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
