By Newsfile

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against GoDaddy Inc. ("GoDaddy" or the "Company") (NYSE: GDDY), captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07144, on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased GoDaddy common stock during the period September 3, 2025 through February 24, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period").

DEADLINE REMINDER: Investors are hereby notified that they have 60 days from the date of this notice to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action for the proposed Class. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

GoDaddy is an internet domain registry, domain registrar, and web hosting company that primarily serves small businesses, entrepreneurs, and other customers seeking tools to build and manage an online presence.

According to the complaint, GoDaddy repeatedly told investors that its strategy was focused on attracting "high-intent" customers who were likely to buy more products and spend more money, while allegedly failing to disclose that it had introduced a heavily discounted $4.99 promotional offer for one-year dotcom domain contracts.

As alleged in the complaint, the promotion contradicted GoDaddy's public messaging that it had turned off front-end discounting and was not pursuing customer growth for its own sake. The complaint alleges that the promotion encouraged shorter-term, lower-value contracts, reduced upfront bookings, and rendered GoDaddy's statements about demand, average order size, and bookings growth misleading.

Why did GoDaddy's Stock Drop?

On February 24, 2026, after the market closed, GoDaddy disclosed that total bookings growth sharply decelerated to 5% in Q4 2025, down from 9% the prior quarter and below analyst expectations. GoDaddy also disclosed that it had expanded its go-to-market approach and introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term. The Company stated that the offer increased new customer volume but that the shift in term mix and promotional pricing reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue.

On this news, GoDaddy's stock dropped $13.18 per share, or 14.28%, from a closing price of $92.30 per share on February 24, 2026, to $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026.
