While revenue growth hit the mark at 8% for the full\nyear 2025, this sharp deceleration in total bookings growth in the fourth\nquarter of 2025 caused total bookings growth for the full year 2025 to come in\nat 7%, a departure from defendants’ previously stated 8%.\n\nDuring GoDaddy's earnings call, defendants clarified that it had introduced a\npromotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term, which \"increased\nnew customer volume that purchased domain units with one-year terms, but the\ndemand for the offer was greater than we expected and the shift in term mix\ncombined with the promotional price reduced upfront bookings and near-term\nrevenue.\"\n\nOn this news, the price of GoDaddy common stock fell from a closing price of\n$92.30 per share on February 24, 2026, to a closing price of $79.12 per share\non February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14%.\n\nWho Can Participate in the GoDaddy Class Action?\n\nThe lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired\nGoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026.\nInvestors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under\nthe federal securities laws.\n\nWhat Is a Lead Plaintiff?\n\nThe lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests\nof all class members throughout the litigation.
