GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol GDDY · Technology · Software - Infrastructure · United States · Class A common stock · Blend
GDDY is GoDaddy Inc.'s Class A common stock. The classes own the same business, share the same earnings report and trade within a few cents of each other; what differs is mainly the vote each share carries - the company's annual report sets out the voting rights.
Is GDDY undervalued?
GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY) closed at 118.32 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 7 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 304.02, which puts the price 61% below it. 6 of the 7 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The 7 models disagree widely: EPV gives 85.42 while Payback Time gives 552.06. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for GDDY, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 64, growth score 69, out of 100).

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 142.65 | +21% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | 388.83 | +229% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 166.16 | +40% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 470.66 | +298% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 322.38 | +172% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 552.06 | +367% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 85.42 | -28% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -47.21 | -140% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
On financial health GDDY scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.9 out of 10: a record that is solid on some of the four parts the score weighs (returns on capital, pricing power, lasting growth, balance sheet) and weaker on others.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 21.5%, ROE 406.8%, ROA 10.9% - with debt at 17.96 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 11.6%. Debt of 17.96 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
GoDaddy Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Core Platform 66%, Applications And Commerce 34% (quarter Q3 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 6/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 18 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 21.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.9 / 10 | ROE | 406.8% |
| Debt / equity | 17.96 | ROA | 10.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 11.6% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 6 / 10 |
Wheel Score 88: Prime
GDDY scores 88 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Prime band (85 and above): it passes all 9 Wheel Trade Filters and ranks strongly on value strong, premium strong, moat fair, health strong, red flags strong, option trading fair, stability good. Prime stocks stand out among those that pass - the Sunday Scan is the top 10 by Wheel Score.
Implied volatility is 47% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 14,194 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 1.6M shares a day on a market cap of $15.0B, with a beta of 0.94; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.

| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
