GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY) is a global technology company and the world’s largest domain name registrar, based in Tempe, Arizona. With a market capitalization of $13 billion, it helps entrepreneurs and small businesses establish and grow their online presence through domain registration, website building, digital marketing, e-commerce, payment processing, and integrated business management tools.
GDDY is scheduled to release its Q3 results after the market closes on Thursday, October 29, 2026. Analysts forecast diluted EPS of $1.81, representing a 19.9% increase from $1.51 reported in the same quarter last year. The company has also beaten Wall Street’s EPS estimates in each of the past four quarters.
For fiscal 2026, analysts project EPS of $7.23, up 21.1% from $5.97 in fiscal 2025. Earnings growth is expected to continue into fiscal 2027, with EPS forecast to rise another 23.7% year over year to $8.94.
GDDY shares have fallen 22.2% over the past 52 weeks, lagging the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), which gained 17.3%, and the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK), which advanced 37.7% over the same period.
GoDaddy faces a securities fraud class-action lawsuit alleging the company misled investors about its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategy. The complaint claims GoDaddy promoted a discounted $4.99 one-year .com domain offer despite previously emphasizing its focus on attracting high-intent, higher-value customers and moving away from front-end discounting. The allegations came to light after GoDaddy reported that fourth-quarter 2025 bookings growth slowed to 5%, down from 9% in the previous quarter and below analyst expectations. The company attributed the slowdown partly to promotional pricing and a shift toward shorter-term contracts, which boosted new customer volume but reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue.
Despite these concerns, analyst sentiment toward GDDY remains cautiously positive, with the stock carrying a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating. Among the 19 analysts covering the stock, seven recommend a “Strong Buy,” one assigns a “Moderate Buy,” 10 rate it a “Hold,” and one recommends a “Strong Sell.” The average price target of $107.12 suggests potential upside of 4% from the current share price.
