Gartner is trading 4.6% up now at $207.55 in pre-market after its August 28 storage-platform research projected 2027 storage budgets at 250%-300% of 2025 spending.
- The research highlighted extreme supply-chain volatility, while the forecast and Magic Quadrant release provide a fresh company-specific catalyst.
- Broader sentiment is modestly negative: major U.S. futures are down roughly 0.2%-0.3%, so it does not explain the gain.
- Trading volume is unavailable.
