Gideon Gartner left Wall Street research in 1979 to sell technology analysis to buyers rather than investors, and the subscription research model he built still defines the company. Clients pay annually for access to analysts and written assessments used to justify enterprise software purchases, which makes contract value and renewal rate the numbers that matter more than revenue in any quarter. A conferences business and a consulting arm attach to the same analyst base. Because the product is opinion delivered by people, headcount growth is the main lever and the main constraint. Headquarters are in Stamford, Connecticut.

A protective put caps your downside on the IT position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current IT option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share IT position at $182.07 is worth $910,350. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $18,207 to $36,414) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off IT's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Gartner equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge IT stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and IT's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current IT option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Gartner grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Gartner typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
