  • Gartner Shares Fall 64.6% in One Year but DCF Model Shows Undervaluation
    May 1, 2026, 10:16 AM EDT. Gartner's stock has plunged 64.6% over the past year, closing at $148.49. The decline exceeds peers and reflects broader concerns about IT spending rather than company-specific events. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model estimates Gartner's intrinsic value at $288.61 per share, implying the stock is undervalued by nearly 48.5%. The model uses free cash flow projections through 2035, incorporating analyst forecasts and a tapering growth rate. Despite recent price weakness, Gartner rates 4 out of 6 on valuation checks, highlighting potential value. Investors should weigh market trends alongside these financial metrics when considering Gartner as a buy.
