GoDaddy Inc. is a major provider of web-based tools and services tailored for small businesses and individuals. The company maintains a leading position by combining domain registration with a growing portfolio of website building, e-commerce, and productivity applications. Its primary growth opportunity lies in deepening customer engagement through its integrated AI-powered product suite, GoDaddy Airo. Key risks include intense competition from integrated platforms and the potential for technological disruption in the web-creation space. The stock may suit growth-oriented investors who value a sticky subscription model and efficient capital allocation, though interested parties should monitor the success of recent AI-focused initiatives against rising competitive pressures.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
GDDY receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GDDY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 31.8%) and solid profitability (net margin 17.7%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-6.6%), moderate revenue growth (+8.3%), very low insider ownership of 0.97%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GDDY's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.6B (31.8% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is GDDY's strongest growth driver at +24.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-6.6%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 106.1% and approximately 99.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.97%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Ameriprise Financial Inc 9.52%
BlackRock Inc 8.26%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.84%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.48%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 4.59%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GDDY generates approximately $636 of gross profit, $228 of operating income, and $318 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 14.22%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GDDY has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
