Gartner authorizes $500M for stock buybacks

How big is it?

Gartner bought back $2.6B of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $500M covers about 2 months of buybacks.

The amount equals 39% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($1.3B).

Its diluted share count is down 13.9% from a year earlier.

An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
