Andrew Nicholas has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest long-term value in Gartner’s stock. Despite recent challenges, including a significant drop in share price and concerns about the impact of generative AI, Nicholas believes these issues are not as detrimental as the market perceives. He sees the current stock weakness as a chance for investors to acquire shares in a strong company at a reduced price.
Furthermore, Nicholas highlights Gartner’s proactive measures, such as aggressive share repurchases, which indicate management’s confidence in the company’s future. While acknowledging potential short-term hurdles, he remains optimistic about Gartner’s ability to navigate these challenges and achieve growth, particularly through increased contract value growth anticipated in the coming years.
In another report released on September 5, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $320.00 price target.
