Forrester Research Reports 2026 Third-Quarter Financial Results

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 29, 2026 — Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, with contract value at $281.9 million, down 3.5% compared with the prior year.

“We continue to see stabilization of the business, with results above consensus, a strong stock buyback program, and prudent expense management,” said CEO and Chairman George F. Colony. “As a result, we are raising the low end of our guidance for 2026 earnings per share.

“Our AI focus is deliberate and intentional, and we continue to advance our product roadmap, delivering new AI capabilities. This quarter, we unveiled a robust portfolio of new products including AI Access Plus, Team Solutions, and an integration with Claude. These offerings give our clients greater flexibility in how they access our research and insights to make better decisions faster. We believe these enhancements will help deliver improved results for the remainder of the year and into next year.”

Third-Quarter Consolidated Results

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2026 were $86.1 million, compared with $94.3 million for the comparable quarter in 2025.
