Applications & Commerce attach accelerates above 10%, lifting operating margins toward 26% and compounding per-share cash flow.
Core Platform renewal growth falls below 1.0% YoY.
We assign GoDaddy a Strong Buy rating as the report-date price of $97.46 on 2026-09-18 trades at a 29.8% discount to house Fair value of $138.82. While small business formation headwinds pose renewal risks, strong cash conversion supports durable compounding.346
The Strong Buy rating means the stock offers attractive risk-reward for long-term investors based on durable subscription revenues.
At $97.46 on 2026-09-18, shares trade well below house Fair value of $138.82, while Potential value reaches $171.69.
The main risk is that small business creation slows, pushing Core Platform renewal growth below 1.0% YoY. Combined with servicing $3,862.6M in debt, this would reduce free cash flow and halt buybacks.36
The strongest catalyst is cash generation: capex of $23.9M on $4,951.1M revenue yields $1,575.5M in free cash flow. Repurchases retired shares from 151.5M in FY2023 to 140.6M in FY2025, compounding EPS.45
Core Platform generated $3,062.1M in FY2025 revenue, providing predictable recurring cash flow through high domain renewal friction.6
Capex was just $23.9M or 0.48% of FY2025 revenue, allowing operating cash flow of $1,599.4M to convert into $1,575.5M in free cash flow.45
Free cash flow funded share retirements from 151,452,000 in FY2023 to 140,621,000 in FY2025, compounding EPS faster than top-line revenue.5
We rate GoDaddy a Strong Buy because sticky domain subscription renewals and exceptional free cash flow conversion fund steady share repurchases that compound per-share earnings.456
Each customer's journey is unique and they tend to be non-linear and iterative in nature. Its customers often start with the most intimate of brand considerations, their Identity, which includes their company name, domain name, logo and email address. Choosing a domain name is often an important initial step for customers as they start and grow their business.
There are no internal revenue transactions between its reportable segments.
Under stressed economic conditions, gross domain additions stall while small business closures increase subscription cancellations. Operating cash flow contracts as renewal pricing power weakens. Simultaneously, servicing $3,862.6M in total debt at elevated interest rates diverts cash away from share repurchases, halting per-share equity compounding.
Macroeconomic deceleration in small enterprise formation reduces domain renewals, while debt refinancing obligations divert operating cash flow away from share repurchases.
Core Platform generated $3,062.1M in FY2025 revenue. If renewal growth falls below 1.0% YoY, consolidated revenue growth stalls below 3.0%.56
Пять событий, которые ослабят наш инвестиционный тезис.
Slower renewal growth signals escalating customer attrition among small businesses, which undermines the predictable subscription revenue that funds product expansion and cash distributions to shareholders.

GoDaddy possesses a narrow economic moat rooted in high customer switching costs and brand intangibles. In FY2025, Core Platform generated $3,062.1M in revenue, representing 61.85% of total sales. Domain registrations and DNS configurations introduce administrative friction, which discourages customer churn.
Applications and Commerce contributed $1,889.0M in FY2025. Cross-selling software solutions into the domain registration customer base expands customer lifetime value while supporting consolidated gross profit of $3,149.6M.
GoDaddy generates an ROIC of 23.03%, comfortably exceeding its 8.15% cost of capital and 9.19% cost of equity.1
Each lens answers a different valuation question. Only included lenses set Fair value; floors and diagnostics provide context.
The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($138.82). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
Free cash flow to the firm stays positive in the first projected year at $1.1B after modeled capex of $23.9M, with terminal value at 61.5% of enterprise value. A sudden drop in free cash flow is not projected unless capital spending relative to revenue, reinvestment, or gross margin resets materially.
Core Platform maintains steady low-single-digit renewal expansion while Applications and Commerce cross-selling sustains moderate top-line growth and disciplined capital allocation.
Operating outperformance confirms that software cross-selling momentum is expanding consolidated margins.
In-line results confirm the base compounding thesis anchored by predictable subscription renewals.
Revenue contraction would challenge core subscription durability and reduce free cash flow available for buybacks.
Earnings quality is supported by reliable cash conversion, with operating cash flow consistently exceeding operating profit due to upfront subscription billing and modest working capital needs.
Domain renewals anchor recurring cash flows; customer churn directly reduces top-line predictability.
Software cross-selling lifts average revenue per user and expands .
GoDaddy generated $1,599.4M in operating cash flow and $1,575.5M in free cash flow during FY2025. Modest capex of $23.9M allows more than 100% of operating income to convert into distributable cash.45
Management deploys excess cash toward share retirements, spending $1,601.9M on repurchases in FY2025 to reduce share count. Total debt of $3,862.6M requires disciplined ongoing debt service.
Return on invested capital of 23.03% reflects expanding operating profit of $1,127.3M on $4,951.1M in FY2025 revenue.
ROIC of 23.03% substantially exceeds WACC of 8.15%, creating wide economic value spread.
FY2025 operating cash flow of $1,599.4M exceeded GAAP net income of $875.0M.
Upfront annual subscription collections provide structural liquidity.
FY2025 capex of $23.9M was just 0.48% of consolidated .
