Gartner, Inc. (IT)

Research and advisory, half in the U.S. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 12, 2026. Ranked 34 of the 70 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

A research and advisory firm whose filing states its total, its count abroad and its sales force but nothing by segment, so one consulting pattern carries it.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 25% now, 51% at the end of 2027, 65% at the end of 2028, 69% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 69% desk work, 21% people work and 10% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 31% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 54% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Headcount

20,244 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). 9,994 of 20,244 employees were outside the U.S., so about 51% are in the U.S.

The filing: “At December 31, 2025, we had 20,244 employees globally, 9,994 of which were outside of the U.S., and the overwhelming majority of our employees were full time.”

What the filing says about AI

29 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing's AI sentences are about competition and disruption: it anticipates more competition with increased adoption of AI services in its markets, and names AI and machine learning among the technologies rapidly changing how it, its clients and its competitors operate and generate revenue.

• “We anticipate encountering more competition with increased adoption of AI services in the markets in which we compete.”
• “Disruptive technologies, including in areas of artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning, are rapidly changing the environment in which we, our clients, and our competitors operate and could affect the nature of how we generate revenue.”
• “We anticipate encountering more competition with increased adoption of AI services in the markets in which we compete.”
• “In addition, some of our content is exposed to Internet search engines and large language models ("LLM"), which help generate website traffic.”
• “Some search engines and LLMs also provide substantive content in search results, including AI-generated content, which, if expanded to the areas in which we operate, could reduce the need to enter our websites.”
