Forrester and Gartner report 1Q25 earnings on May 6, 2025
Lusher Advisory will be breaking down what it means for you.
This isn’t your standard investor call recap. My analysis skips the Wall Street noise and focuses on what matters to:
🔹 AR professionals working the analyst ecosystem
🔹 Tech execs deciding where to invest time, budget, and attention
🔹 Analyst firm sales teams hunting for competitor intelligence
🔹 Marketing and comms teams tracking influence signals
📉 I don’t usually pay much attention to stock prices—most day-to-day market moves don’t impact company behavior. That’s been my practice since my days as a Gartner analyst covering PCs and enterprise software.
But Forrester? Since early 2022, its stock is down 83%. That’s not just volatility—it’s a warning sign.
And it’s personal: George Colony, Forrester’s founder and CEO, owns 39% of the company. That kind of loss can drive high-level overreactions that ripple across analyst firm strategy, research output, and vendor relationships.
