GDDY Shareholder Alert: GoDaddy Inc. Securities Class Action Lawsuit - Investors With Losses May Contact Levi & Korsinsky

Alert: Claims Focus on Alleged Misrepresentations About GoDaddy's Domain Contract Term Shift, Where a $4.99 One-Year Promotion Allegedly Replaced Higher-Value Multi-Year Bookings.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP reminds purchasers of GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) securities of a pending securities class action brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired shares between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026. Find out if you might qualify for recovery. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.

GDDY shares fell $13.18, or more than 14%, from $92.30 to $79.12 following the February 24, 2026 disclosure. Motions for lead plaintiff must be filed with the Court by October 20, 2026.

The Alleged Contract Term Shift From Three Years to One

The action contends that during the Class Period GoDaddy introduced a promotional price of $4.99 for one-year dotcom domains, well below the typical $10 to $20 per year rate, and that this shift in term mix was not disclosed to investors while it was underway.

As pleaded, the promotion drew outsized demand. On February 24, 2026, the Company reported that the shift in term mix combined with the promotional price reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue, and that average order size at initiation declined.

Alleged Operational Impact by the Numbers

• Promotional price for one-year dotcom domains: $4.99, versus typical rates of $10 to $20 per year
• Contract term shifted from typically three-year registrations to one-year terms
• Q4 2025 total bookings growth: 5%, down from 9% in Q3 2025
• Q4 2025 bookings missed consensus estimates of 7%
• Full year 2025 bookings growth came in at 7%, against prior guidance of approximately 8% in line with revenue growth
• Applications and Commerce bookings decelerated to roughly 11% to 13%, down from 14% in the prior quarter

Why the Term Mix Allegedly Mattered to Shareholders

Plaintiffs allege that management repeatedly described a strategy built around "high-intent" customers spending $500 or more, and represented that average order size was increasing, while a discount program pulling in the opposite direction was already in effect. The action contends investors purchased at artificially inflated prices as a result.

"The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information regarding a promotional pricing program that allegedly reduced upfront bookings while the Company was describing average order size as rising," -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the GDDY Lawsuit

Q: Who is eligible to join the GDDY investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased GDDY stock or securities between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses -- not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: What specific misstatements does the GDDY lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges GoDaddy made materially false or misleading statements regarding its high-intent customer strategy, average order size, and the claim that discounting had been "turned off" at the front of its funnel, while an undisclosed $4.99 one-year domain promotion was reducing upfront bookings. When the promotion and the bookings deceleration were disclosed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What court was the GDDY class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: What do GDDY investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid.

Q: What if I already sold my GDDY shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.
