Time-Sensitive: Allegations Focus on GoDaddy's "High-Intent" Customer and AI Platform Representations, Which the Complaint Says Concealed a Sharp Deceleration in Total Bookings Growth.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) of a pending securities class action. Class Period: September 3, 2025 through February 24, 2026. Check if you might be eligible to recover your investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] | (212) 363-7500.

GDDY shares fell $13.18 per share, more than 14%, closing at $79.12 on February 25, 2026. The Court has set October 20, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.

"Investors deserve transparency about material risks that could affect their investments, and this action questions whether GoDaddy shareholders were told the full story about what was driving customer growth," stated Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

What Management Allegedly Knew About the "High-Intent" Customer Story

Throughout the Class Period, management told the investment community that the Company's strategy of pursuing "high-intent" customers who spend $500 or more was working, that average order size was rising, and that the AI platform was drawing in customers who attached additional products. The lawsuit asserts those representations were incomplete because, as alleged, the Company had already rolled out a $4.99 promotional price for one-year dotcom domains that pushed buyers away from the typical multi-year contracts and reduced average order size.

Industry Trends in Customer Acquisition Quality

Domain registrars typically sell multi-year contracts, often three-year terms. Typical dotcom pricing ranges from $10 to $20 per year, making a $4.99 one-year offer a substantial discount. The action claims the promotion lifted new customer volume while pressuring upfront bookings and initial order size. Total bookings growth decelerated to 5% in Q4 2025, down from 9% the prior quarter and short of the 7% analysts expected. Full year 2025 bookings growth came in at 7%, below the roughly 8% previously indicated. Why Bookings Quality Allegedly Matters to Investors

As alleged, statements about rising average order size and a working high-intent strategy sat alongside an undisclosed promotion that the Company later acknowledged reduced average order size at initiation. The complaint contends shares traded at artificially inflated prices as a result.

Frequently Asked Questions About the GDDY Lawsuit

Q: Who is eligible to join the GDDY investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased GDDY stock or securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses -- not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: What is the GDDY lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment is October 20, 2026. This deadline applies only to investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiff. Class members who do not apply may still participate in any recovery without taking action before this date.

Q: What specific misstatements does the GDDY lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges GoDaddy made materially false or misleading statements regarding the effectiveness of its high-intent customer strategy, rising average order size, and its representation that discounting had been turned off, while an undisclosed $4.99 one-year domain promotion was pressuring bookings. When the fourth quarter bookings deceleration and the promotional pricing shift were disclosed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What do GDDY investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: What if I already sold my GDDY shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.8% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: GoDaddy (GDDY - Free Report) GoDaddy Inc.’s solutions served 20.5 million customers as of June 30, 2026, including independents, WebPros, Domain Registrars and Investors, and Third-Party Registrars and Corporate Domain Portfolio owners.

GDDY is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. GDDY has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 2.4% over the past four weeks.

For fiscal 2026, four analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $7.21 per share. GDDY boasts an average earnings surprise of +6.4%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, GDDY should be on investors' short list.

NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SueWallSt notifies investors in GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026. Find out if you could qualify to recover your losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

GDDY shares fell from $92.30 to $79.12, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14%, on heavier than usual trading volume. Full year 2025 total bookings growth came in at 7%, below the 8% figure previously communicated to investors. Applications to serve as lead plaintiff must be filed by October 20, 2026.

The Alleged $4.99 Domain Discount Methodology

At the center of this domain pricing securities fraud action is a promotional price of $4.99 for one-year dotcom domain contracts, a figure well below the $10 to $20 per year typical of the multi-year contracts the Company had historically sold. According to the lawsuit, this promotion was introduced during the Class Period and was not disclosed to investors while it was underway. The complaint alleges the shift from typical three-year terms to one-year terms reduced upfront bookings and average order size.

How the Alleged Promotion Affected Reported Financials

The lawsuit contends that fourth quarter 2025 total bookings growth decelerated sharply to 5%, down from 9% in the prior quarter and below analyst estimates of 7%. The complaint alleges that investors purchasing during this window paid artificially inflated prices because the pricing shift driving that deceleration had not been disclosed.

Key Domain Pricing Allegations for Shareholders

A promotional price of $4.99 for one-year dotcom domains was allegedly introduced without contemporaneous disclosure to investorsTypical domain contracts had run $10 to $20 per year, often on three-year terms, according to the lawsuitThe complaint alleges the term-mix shift toward one-year contracts reduced upfront bookings and average order sizeFourth quarter total bookings growth allegedly decelerated to 5% from 9% the prior quarterFull year 2025 bookings growth allegedly finished at 7% rather than the 8% previously indicatedApplications and Commerce bookings growth also decelerated, the lawsuit contends, as domain discounting affected bundled products "This case presents important questions about pricing and promotion disclosure obligations in the internet services sector. The complaint alleges that a material change in domain contract terms was affecting bookings while investors were told a different story about the Company's discounting approach." -- Joseph E.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. ("GoDaddy" or the "Company") (NYSE: GDDY) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 (the "Class Period").

CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CASE

If you are an investor in GoDaddy and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (212) 329-8566.

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than October 20, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company's promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the "Press Release"). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important October 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline

SO WHAT: If you purchased GoDaddy common stock you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that while GoDaddy was telling investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," GoDaddy had implemented a promotion that directly contradicted those representations by focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025. In fact, when the truth was ultimately revealed, GoDaddy admitted that the promotion "reduced" the average order size, directly contradicting the representation that the average order size was going up. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

GoDaddy has been sued for securities fraud after its stock plummeted 14.28% because GoDaddy allegedly misrepresented its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategy.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:GDDY) and certain of the company's senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in GoDaddy, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/godaddy-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the GoDaddy ($GDDY) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 26, 2026 Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging GoDaddy misrepresented its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategy  Stock Drop: February 25, 2026 – 14.28% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until October 26, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in GoDaddy common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc. et al., No. 26-cv-7144.

Why is GoDaddy Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

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, 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.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP  reminds investors of the upcoming October 20, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy Inc. (“GoDaddy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GDDY) securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR GODADDY INC. INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy released its fourth quarter 2025 financial results, revealing, among other things, bookings of $1.28 million. The Company disclosed it had “introduced a promotional price for .com domains with a 1-year term” but “the shift in term mix, combined with the promotional price, reduced up front bookings and near-term revenue.”

Additionally, the Company provided 2026 guidance, including revenue of $5.195 billion to $5.275 billion, and stated that it “anticipate[s] a modest impact on reported revenue growth rates for the year in both Core Platform and A&C segments as the promotional price is allocated to all products included in the initial purchase.”

On this news, GoDaddy’s stock price fell $13.18 or 14.28%, to close at $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company’s strategy of focusing on high-intent customers was not working; (ii) Company had implemented a promotional discount for dotcom domains that were likely to and did result in shorter term contracts with smaller valuations; (iii) the Company’s institution of a promotional discount on one- year dotcom contracts with shorter terms was already having a material, negative impact on total bookings growth for the fourth quarter of 2025, and in turn the full year 2025; (iv) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy Inc. securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026, you may move the Court no later than October 20, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

GODADDY INC. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY: 

GoDaddy is an internet domain registry and web hosting company, currently managing over 80 million registered domains.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) GoDaddy implemented a promotional discount for dotcom domains that were likely to and did result in shorter term contracts with smaller valuations; (2) these contracts were likely to cause a deceleration in total bookings for the fourth quarter and full year 2025; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why did GoDaddy's Stock Drop?

On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, revealing that total bookings growth had declined to 5% in the fourth quarter, and just 7% for the year. On a call that same day, Defendants stated that in the last quarter, the company had shifted its go-to-market strategy and "introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term."

This new strategy came as a surprise to analysts and investors alike, with one of many reports and articles being published in the following days titled "Surprise Promotional Activity Drives Bookings and Guidance Miss." That report stated, in part, that GoDaddy missed its financial guidance "due to a promotion GoDaddy ran for 1-year .com contracts (these are typically 3-year domain contracts), which saw outsized demand. The shorter contract term and lower average order size from the promotion had a meaningful impact on bookings for the quarter." On this news, the price of GoDaddy's common stock fell more than 14%.

WHAT GODADDY INC. INVESTORS CAN DO NOW:

File to be lead plaintiff by October 20, 2026. Contact KTMC for a free case evaluation. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Retain counsel of choice or take no action. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR GODADDY INC. INVESTORS:

GoDaddy investors may, no later than October 20, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages GoDaddy investors to contact the firm for more information.

NEW YORK, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased GoDaddy common stock you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that while GoDaddy was telling investors that its strategy “isn’t to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers” and that “[w]e’ve seen the average order size go up,” GoDaddy had implemented a promotion that directly contradicted those representations by focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025. In fact, when the truth was ultimately revealed, GoDaddy admitted that the promotion “reduced” the average order size, directly contradicting the representation that the average order size was going up. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

NEW YORK, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (“GoDaddy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GDDY) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 (the “Class Period”).

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than October 20, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class.  If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to  investors that its strategy “isn’t to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers” and that “[w]e’ve seen the average order size go up,” the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company’s promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the “Press Release”). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.

NEW YORK, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:GDDY) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in GoDaddy, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/godaddy-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the GoDaddy ($GDDY) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 26, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging GoDaddy misrepresented its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategyStock Drop: February 25, 2026 – 14.28% Stock DropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New YorkAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until October 26, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in GoDaddy common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc. et al., No. 26-cv-7144.

Why is GoDaddy Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

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, 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.

On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy reported its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results.  In a press release, the Company disclosed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% during the fourth quarter of 2025, down from 9% the previous quarter and missing analyst estimates of 7%.  During the associated earnings call with analysts and investors, Chief Executive Officer Aman Bhutani mentioned for the first time to investors that the Company had "expanded [its] go-to-market approach with a streamlined purchase experience for new domain customers."  Bhutani further revealed that the Company "introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term" which resulted in reduced upfront bookings.  On that same call, Chief Financial Officer Mark McCaffrey admitted that the annual terms of the heavily adopted one-year promotional contracts impacted the Company's bookings.  Specifically, McCaffrey admitted that there was "a reduction in our average order size of initiation related to the discount," noting that the Company believed the heavy adoption of the lower-cost, one-year promotional contracts would have a "major impact" at the end of 2025 going into the first quarter of 2026. 

On this news, GoDaddy's stock price fell $13.18 per share, or 14.28%, to close at $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026.

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - September 3, 2026) - Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 (the "Class Period"). GoDaddy is an internet domain registry, domain registrar, and web hosting company.

The complaint alleges that GoDaddy failed to disclose to investors that it had initiated a promotional discount that had a material, adverse effect on total bookings growth.

Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP for information.

Listen to our podcast.

Why Was GoDaddy Sued?

According to the complaint, during the Class Period, GoDaddy introduced an undisclosed heavily discounted promotional price for one-year domain contracts of $4.99, a price significantly lower than their typical multi-year contracts that range from $10 to $20 per year.

Plaintiff contends this was a deliberate strategy to attract new customers, even at the expense of large upfront payments for multi-year contracts. Accordingly, this undisclosed promotion contradicted the Company's repeated representations that its strategy to attract high-intent customers that spend $500 or more was working and that its AI platform was "hitting its stride," helping to attract those high-intent customers that were adopting more products and spending more money.

Why Did GoDaddy's Stock Drop?

On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K revealing that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025. While revenue growth hit the mark at 8% for the full year 2025, this sharp deceleration in total bookings growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 caused total bookings growth for the full year 2025 to come in at 7%, a departure from defendants' previously stated 8%.

During GoDaddy's earnings call, defendants clarified that it had introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term, which "increased new customer volume that purchased domain units with one-year terms, but the demand for the offer was greater than we expected and the shift in term mix combined with the promotional price reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue."

On this news, the price of GoDaddy common stock fell from a closing price of $92.30 per share on February 24, 2026, to a closing price of $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14%.

Who Can Participate in the GoDaddy Class Action?

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

What Is a Lead Plaintiff?

The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests of all class members throughout the litigation. Serving as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery. Investors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the case proceeds and later resolves successfully.

Shareholders who wish to lead the case should contact Robbins LLP before the October 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

Does it cost anything to participate?

No. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. ("GoDaddy" or the "Company") (NYSE: GDDY) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 (the "Class Period").

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than October 20, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company's promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the "Press Release"). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.

Disclosure Adequacy Under Review: The complaint contends GoDaddy's October 30, 2025 Form 10-Q guidance and investor-conference statements omitted a then-active $4.99 one-year domain promotion that allegedly pressured upfront bookings.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026. Find out if you may be eligible to recover losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

GDDY closed at $92.30 on February 24, 2026 and at $79.12 the next session, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14%, on heavier than usual volume. Full year 2025 total bookings growth came in at 7% against a previously stated expectation of approximately 8%. The lead plaintiff deadline is October 20, 2026.

What the Company Disclosed

In its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2025, filed October 30, 2025, GoDaddy stated it expected full year total bookings growth to be in line with total revenue growth of approximately 8%. During earnings calls, management pointed to a strategy that was "working" and successfully increasing the average order size alongside "pretty consistent demand." The complaint challenges whether that framing was adequate given the promotional program the lawsuit says was already underway one month into the fourth quarter.

What Plaintiffs Allege Was Missing

Disclosure of the $4.99 promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term, versus typical multi-year contracts priced at $10 to $20 per year Disclosure of the shift in term mix away from typically three-year domain contracts, which the action says reduced upfront bookings Disclosure that average order size at initiation was allegedly being reduced by the discount, rather than rising Disclosure of a known trend of decelerating total bookings growth heading into the fourth quarter of 2025 Disclosure reconciling the promotion with the September 3, 2025 statement that discounting at the front of the funnel had been turned off "Generic risk factor language cannot substitute for disclosing specific, known problems that are already affecting a company's operations. Here the complaint alleges a promotional program was live while guidance pointed to approximately 8% bookings growth." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Why Generic Warnings May Not Protect

When fourth quarter results were reported on February 24, 2026, total bookings growth had decelerated to 5%, below analyst estimates of 7% and down from 9% the prior quarter. Management then described the promotional price and term shift as having reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue. The lawsuit contends boilerplate cautionary language does not insulate statements that omitted an already-existing, quantifiable trend.

Frequently Asked Questions About the GDDY Lawsuit

Q: What is the GDDY lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment is October 20, 2026. This deadline applies only to investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiff. Class members who do not apply may still participate in any recovery without taking action before this date.

Q: How much did GDDY stock drop? A: Shares fell approximately 14%, a decline of $13.18 per share, after the Company disclosed sharply decelerating fourth quarter bookings growth and a previously unannounced $4.99 one-year dotcom domain promotion that reduced upfront bookings and average order size. Investors who purchased shares during the Class Period at artificially inflated prices and suffered losses may be eligible to seek compensation.

Q: What specific misstatements does the GDDY lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges GoDaddy made materially false or misleading statements regarding its high-intent customer strategy, the claim that front-of-funnel discounting had been turned off, rising average order size, and expected full year bookings growth in line with 8% revenue growth. When the promotional pricing and bookings deceleration were disclosed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What court was the GDDY class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: What do GDDY investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What documents do I need to to submit my information? A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.

Q: What if I already sold my GDDY shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

NEW YORK, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:GDDY) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in GoDaddy, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/godaddy-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the GoDaddy ($GDDY) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 26, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging GoDaddy misrepresented its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategyStock Drop: February 25, 2026 – 14.28% Stock DropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New YorkAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until October 26, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in GoDaddy common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc. et al., No. 26-cv-7144.

Why is GoDaddy Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

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, 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.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises GoDaddy, Inc., (“GoDaddy” or the "Company") (NYSE: GDDY) investors of a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between September 3, 2025 - February 24, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). GoDaddy investors have until October 20, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 310-692-8883 or email: [email protected], to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/godaddy-inc. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.

The GoDaddy class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) while discussing the material issue of their go-to-market strategy around high-intent customers, defendants failed to disclose that they had also implemented a promotional discount for dotcom domains that were likely to and did result in shorter term contracts with smaller valuations that were likely to result in a deceleration in total bookings for the fourth quarter and full year 2025; (ii) despite stating that GoDaddy “turned off” discounting at the front of GoDaddy’s customer funnel, defendants failed to disclose that GoDaddy instituted promotional discounts during the Class Period; and (iii) despite telling investors that its strategy “isn’t to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers” and that “[w]e’ve seen the average order size go up,” GoDaddy had implemented a promotion that directly contradicted those representations by focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, allegedly disclosing that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.  That same day, GoDaddy hosted a conference call with analysts and investors, where Aman Bhutani, GoDaddy’s Chief Executive Officer, allegedly revealed that “this quarter, we expanded our go-to-market approach with a streamlined purchase experience for new domain customers. . . .  We activated our marketing channels on the streamlined experience and introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term.  The approach successfully increased new customer volume that purchased domain units with one-year terms, but the demand for this offer was greater than we expected and the shift in term mix combined with the promotional price reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue.”  Mark McCaffrey, GoDaddy’s Chief Financial Officer, allegedly responded to a question from an analyst about the decision to change GoDaddy’s go-to-market strategy by stating “[t]his is impacting our bookings, but has relatively little impact on revenue itself because the timing of the revenue recognition stays consistent.  So that’s one aspect of it.  The other is, there is a reduction in our average order size of initiation related to the discount that gets allocated amongst all the products that does have a little bit of impact on revenue in and of itself. . . .  We think the major impact is going to be at the end of this year and going into Q1.”  On this news, the price of GoDaddy stock fell more than 14%, according to the complaint.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company's promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the "Press Release"). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.
