Gartner (IT) has been under the microscope recently due to sharp fluctuations in share price. Despite strong financial results, the company's share price declined notably. A significant investor exit led to reassessment of the company's valuation. This was further compounded by Wells Fargo's underweight recommendation and numerous strategy and technology trend studies by the company pointing towards AI dominance and its potential risks. AI governance, however, is driving enterprise momentum for ServiceNow. Wells Fargo, UBS, and Truist Financial have all weighed in on Gartner, giving underweight, neutral, and buy ratings respectively. The CIO agenda for 2026 revealed at the Gartner IT Symposium points to strong IT spending, AI regulation, and a shift in enterprise technology. Significant developments have also been announced by IronOrbit who released high-performance, AI-ready cloud solutions at the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference. Meanwhile, Gartner predicts strategic technology trends for 2026 including increased multimodal enterprise software and AI engagement. There is speculation about a rethink of Gartner's research subscription model due to Generative AI. Forecasting predicts strong IT spending growth and a major increase in worldwide IT spending by 2026.
