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%.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired GoDaddy common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the GoDaddy class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Filling out the online form above or communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
