GoDaddy Inc. (US3802371076) stock was quoted at USD 97.88 on August 31, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 12.396 billion and a 52-week range of USD 71.59 to USD 150.47. A class action update published on September 1, 2026 says the company was sued after a 14.28 percent stock drop tied to customer acquisition and go-to-market claims.

Legal risk meets valuation

The same market snapshot showed a previous close of USD 97.70, intraday volume of 1,546,445 shares and a day range of USD 96.10 to USD 98.46. On a year-to-date basis, the shares were down 21.12 percent, while the one-year loss stood at 34.00 percent.

That is the market context around the dispute: the stock still trades far below its 52-week high of USD 150.47, even as the latest Yahoo Finance data also showed a 1-year target estimate of USD 104.53 and trailing EPS of USD 6.73.

Latest reported figures

Yahoo Finance data for GoDaddy also showed trailing revenue of USD 5.1 billion, net income attributable to common stockholders of USD 910.3 million and a profit margin of 17.83 percent. In Q2 FY26, revenue was USD 1.3 billion and earnings were USD 240.1 million, with EPS of USD 1.83 versus an estimate of USD 1.69.

The comparison matters: Q2 FY26 EPS beat the estimate by USD 0.14, while the same page showed a forward-looking average analyst target of USD 97.88 against a high of USD 170.00 and a low of USD 76.00.

Domain tools and Airo

GoDaddy's core business still spans domain registration, hosting, security, websites and commerce tools for small businesses and creators. The latest company overview on Yahoo Finance lists 5,845 employees and splits the group into Applications and Commerce and Core Platform.

In the recent news flow, ACCESS Newswire reported on September 1, 2026 that GoDaddy expanded developer tools to make managing domains easier, while Reuters-linked market coverage pointed to the stock move around the same day's legal headline.

What the stock shows

For investors, the key figures are now USD 97.88, USD 12.396 billion and the Q2 FY26 EPS of USD 1.83. The mix of a 21.12 percent YTD decline and a 14.28 percent litigation-linked drop keeps the debate centered on execution and valuation rather than just the latest release.
