Where the numbers come from

Hand-researched model

What the modeller flagged

YEAR-1 FCF IS ~30% BELOW GODADDY'S LAST REPORTED FCF ($1,126M modeled vs $1,613.6M FY2025, and ~37% below the ~$1.8B FY2026 guide) — past the 20% line, so stated. It decomposes: SBC (~$290-318M) stays an expense in this model but is added back in the company's FCF; tax is charged at a normalized 22% (~$300M) instead of the ~$16-30M of cash tax actually paid; partly offset because the company's FCF is after ~$140-150M of cash interest that an unlevered DCF does not deduct. Re-running FY2025 through the same treatment gives ~$1,047M vs $1,613.6M reported, and the $566M difference reconciles exactly: SBC $318M + tax ~$260M (22% charged vs a net book-current credit of $12M) + actual vs modeled working capital $27M + other non-cash/restructuring $68M - net interest $107M. Deliberate, not a forecasting error.
TERMINAL VALUE IS ~75% OF ENTERPRISE VALUE — right on the danger line. The value is mostly a statement about whether GoDaddy's domain and web-presence franchise is still growing in the 2030s.
THE MARKET'S QUESTION IS AI DISINTERMEDIATION, AND A DCF CANNOT SETTLE IT. The reverse DCF says today's price is consistent with revenue roughly flat for five years at a 27.5% margin, or the model's path with terminal growth near 0.5%. If AI agents and search reduce how many small businesses buy domains, hosting and site builders, the market is right and this model is too high.
BOOKINGS ARE GROWING SLOWER THAN REVENUE (H1 2026 +4.2% vs +6.3%). Because cash is collected up front, that is the leading indicator: it points to slower revenue growth ahead and a thinner deferred-revenue float. The Y2-Y5 fade reflects it, but a sharper deceleration would lower both growth and the working-capital benefit.
TAX SHIELD AND BUYBACK SHARE COUNT BOTH LEFT CONSERVATIVE. Crediting the ~$640M NOL/credit shield would add ~$4-5/share; using the 126.8M period-end share count instead of the 131.0M weighted count would add ~$4.20. Neither is taken.
LITIGATION: a securities class action in the Southern District of New York (class period 2025-09-03 to 2026-02-24) alleges GoDaddy concealed a $4.99 one-year .com promotion that hurt Q4 2025 bookings. Unquantified; not modeled.
SBC of $317.8M (6.4% of revenue) in FY2025 is expensed inside GAAP EBIT; no further deduction is taken. Dilution is otherwise captured by the diluted share count.

GDDY DCF valuation: where the gap comes from

At a recent price of $106.46, GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY) trades 42% below TickerWorth's blended fair value of $185.02 per share — a discounted-cash-flow model cross-checked against peer multiples and asset value — meaning the market currently prices GDDY undervalued vs our estimate of what the business is intrinsically worth. Our fair value sits above the market, an implied +73.8% move to close the gap if the business performs in line with our assumptions. This is an educational model, not a price target or a recommendation — the value moves with the inputs, which you can test yourself using the WACC slider below.

Read the full reasoning

One of the lenses behind that blended figure is a discounted-cash-flow model, which on its own values GDDY at about $128.99 per share. The rest of this page walks through that DCF — its assumptions, reverse-DCF and discount-rate sensitivity — because it is the auditable anchor of the blend.

The valuation discounts GoDaddy Inc.'s projected free cash flows at a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) of 8.8%, with a long-run terminal growth rate of 2.5%. About 75% of the enterprise value comes from the terminal value — the portion beyond the explicit forecast window — which is typical for a stable, cash-generative business and a reminder that small changes in the discount rate or terminal growth assumption swing the intrinsic value meaningfully.

Running the DCF in reverse — solving for the growth the current price already assumes — the market is implying roughly 0.1% annual revenue growth for GDDY. Our base case instead compounds to about 4.5% a year over the same forecast, so the market is pricing in slower growth than our base case. The reverse-DCF is a quick sanity check: it reframes 'is this stock cheap?' as 'do I believe the growth the price requires?' rather than arguing over a single point estimate of fair value.

Sensitivity matters more than any single number. Across a reasonable band of discount-rate assumptions, GDDY's modeled DCF value ranges from about $89.55 to $220.16 per share. If that range still sits below today's price, the market is optimistic relative to the model across the whole band; if it brackets the price, the stock is roughly fairly valued on our assumptions. Use the interactive slider to see exactly where your own cost-of-capital view lands.

How to read this page: the DCF fair value is what GoDaddy Inc. would be worth if its cash flows grow as modeled and are discounted at the stated WACC. The assumptions table shows every input and its source; the reverse-DCF shows what the market believes; the sensitivity band shows how fragile the answer is. None of this is investment advice — it is a transparent, auditable framework for forming your own view of GDDY's intrinsic value. Figures update as new filings and prices come in.
