On July 31, GoDaddy declined 22.48% in regular trading, trading at $76.08/share, with turnover of $10.23 million. The sharp selloff was driven by a combination of narrowed full-year revenue guidance, a cautious Q3 outlook, and an analyst downgrade.
GoDaddy reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.83, beating the consensus estimate of $1.70 by approximately 7.65%, representing a 29.79% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $1.298 billion, slightly above the $1.295 billion estimate. However, the company simultaneously narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to $5.215 billion-$5.255 billion, down from the prior range of $5.195 billion-$5.275 billion, explicitly lowering the upper bound. Management flagged Q3 as the most challenging comparison quarter due to last year's strong aftermarket performance, citing slowing AI tool adoption and weakening customer acquisition momentum.
Additionally, William Blair downgraded GoDaddy from Outperform to Market Perform, further intensifying selling pressure. The company reaffirmed its full-year free cash flow target of approximately $1.8 billion, though this was insufficient to offset concerns over decelerating growth. The convergence of guidance compression, tough Q3 comparisons, and the rating downgrade triggered concentrated capital outflows.
