The “Chart of the Day” is Gartner Inc (IT), which showed up on Monday’s “NYSE 10-year” High list. Gartner on Monday closed 0.40% lower but posted a new record high for the stock. The stock has rallied fairly sharply in the past two weeks and some consolidation may be necessary, but a rally above Monday’s record high of $30.14 would be a bullish technical signal. In recent news on the stock, Gartner on Aug 9 reported Q2 EPS of 24 cents, which was 2 cents above the consensus of 22 cents. Gartner provided FY2010 EPS guidance of $0.90-1.11, which was in line with the consensus of $1.04. Gartner, with a market cap of $2.8 billion, is a research and management advisory firm.
