Adds share movement in paragraph 1
July 30 (Reuters) -Gartner IT.N topped Wall Street expectations for quarterly revenue and raised its annual profit forecast on Tuesday, helped by steady demand for its research and consulting services, sending the company's shares up 6.5%.
The company is a leading research and advisory firm that helps its customers make business decisions through data and analytics. It has around 15,000 enterprise clients and operates in three segments — research, consulting and conferences.
Gartner expects full-year 2024 adjusted profit at about $11.05 per share, higher than its prior forecast of about $10.90.
Revenue at the company's research segment, which accounts for more than half of its total revenue, was at $1.27 billion in the second quarter, up about 5% from a year earlier.
The company's conference and consulting businesses, respectively, posted a 10.2% and 13% rise in quarterly revenue.
"Contract value in the second quarter grew high single digits, accelerating from Q1," said Gartner CEO Eugene Hall.
Total revenue was at $1.60 billion in the quarter ended June, up 6% from a year ago. Analysts on average estimated $1.59 billion, according to LSEG data.
Adjusted profit came at $3.22 per share, also beating the estimates of $3.02.
