GoDaddy launched Node.js Hosting on September 29, 2026, allowing developers and AI coding tools to publish and manage web applications through an API, according to PR Newswire. On September 25, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Robert W. Baird raised its target for GoDaddy from USD 110.00 to USD 120.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating.

Hosting turns AI code into revenue

The new service lets users upload a zip file or connect a GitHub repository, then creates a private preview before publication. GoDaddy handles HTTPS, a content delivery network and a web application firewall, while the API manages deployment, secrets and logs.

The commercial model is direct: up to two private preview apps are free, but publishing requires a GoDaddy Web Hosting plan. That setup gives GoDaddy a route to convert AI-assisted experimentation into paid hosting usage.

Second-quarter growth supports the strategy

GoDaddy reported USD 1.3 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 7.00 percent year over year, while net income rose 20.00 percent to USD 240.1 million, according to StockTitan. Free cash flow reached USD 443.5 million, up 13.00 percent, and the operating margin was 26.00 percent.

The figures matter because the Node.js launch arrives on top of an already profitable platform rather than replacing a shrinking business. GoDaddy's market capitalization was USD 12.9 billion as of October 5, 2026, while the NYSE 52-week range was USD 71.59 to USD 139.44.

Analyst target leaves a wide gap

Baird's USD 120.00 target sits above the current NYSE quotation, but the published rating also shows why the target is a separate judgment from the euro reference price. GoDaddy will report its next results on October 29, 2026, according to Investing.com.
