- Market Trends: In Q3 2025, US PC shipments fell 1% year-on-year to 17.7 million units, indicating macroeconomic pressures, yet the consumer segment grew by 8% to 7.6 million units, highlighting robust consumer demand amidst challenges.
- Education and Government: Shipments in the education and government sectors plummeted by 23% in Q3, reflecting reduced government funding and layoffs that have led to declining tech spending, indicating ongoing weakness in these areas.
- Inventory Adjustment: A recent Omdia survey indicates that global commercial channel partners expect inventory levels to decrease in Q4 2025, and as excess inventories are cleared, the commercial segment is anticipated to gradually recover, potentially laying the groundwork for future growth.
- Outlook: Although the consumer PC market is projected to see an annual decline in Q4 2025, Omdia forecasts a 4% growth for the entire year, demonstrating the market's resilience and potential signs of recovery.

JPMorgan analyst Ella Smith downgraded Informa TechTarget to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $8, down from $18. After more than two months of delay, the company released its fiscal 2024 results, which were worse than expected, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that with more clarity on the combined performance and near-term prospects of the newly established company, it does not see Informa TechTarget as having attractive near-term investment characteristics. JPMorgan does not see a near-term turning point or positive catalyst.
Craig-Hallum reinstated coverage of TechTarget with a Buy rating and $12 price target following the company's 10K filing and subsequent FY24 results conference call. The firm sees management laying a foundation to drive a return to growth, and notes the integration of Informa Tech assets continues to progress, with TechTarget streamlining the product portfolio and enhancing the go-to-market strategy. With heightened focus on the largest customers, Craig-Hallum sees opportunities to cross-sell and upsell a broader offering. As macro trends normalize the firm believes deal cycles should shorten and ultimately drive a growth ramp in the second half of 2025.

Lake Street lowered the firm's price target on TechTarget to $12 from $24 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company delayed its 2024 10-K filing, commented on 2024 financials, and gave color on its 2025 expectations. The company now expects broadly flat revenue for 2025, which is a decrease from prior commentary, says the analyst, who lowered the firm's 2025 estimates following the update.
