The Bottom Fishing Club: Gartner - Approaching 2009 Great Recession Low Valuation

Summary Gartner trades near its best underlying valuation since early 2009, driven by SaaS sector pessimism and aggressive short selling.

Momentum indicators have turned positive, and a technical breakout above $162 could trigger a reversal, especially if shorts begin to cover. I rate IT a Buy under $160, with Strong Buy territory below $139, citing deep undervaluation, resilient fundamentals, and potential for a sharp rebound. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Gartner: Remain Bullish On The Business Outlook

Summary IT delivered strong 4Q24 results with 8.1% y/y revenue growth, driven by research, conferences, and consulting, and plans to expand the sales force.
