ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, encourages GoDaddy Inc. investors to secure counsel before important deadline in Securities Class Action - GDDY.

ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, encourages GoDaddy Inc. investors to secure counsel before important deadline in Securities Class Action - GDDY. NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 20, 2026. SO WHAT: If you purchased GoDaddy common stock you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that while GoDaddy was telling investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," GoDaddy had implemented a promotion that directly contradicted those representations by focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025. In fact, when the truth was ultimately revealed, GoDaddy admitted that the promotion "reduced" the average order size, directly contradicting the representation that the average order size was going up. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the GoDaddy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/godaddy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

GDDY investor notice: shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors of the Class Action lawsuit against GoDaddy Inc.

GDDY investor notice: shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors of the Class Action lawsuit against GoDaddy Inc. Aug 24, 2026, 16:00 ET SAN DIEGO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026 (the "Class Period"). GoDaddy is an internet domain registry, domain registrar, and web hosting company headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. The complaint alleges that GoDaddy failed to disclose to investors that it had initiated a promotional discount that had a material, adverse effect on total bookings growth. Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP for information. Why Was GoDaddy Sued? According to the complaint, during the Class Period, GoDaddy introduced an undisclosed heavily discounted promotional price for one-year domain contracts of $4.99, a price significantly lower than their typical multi-year contracts that range from $10 to $20 per year. Plaintiff contends this was a deliberate strategy to attract new customers, even at the expense of large upfront payments for multi-year contracts. Accordingly, this undisclosed promotion contradicted the Company's repeated representations that its strategy to attract high-intent customers that spend $500 or more was working and that its AI platform was "hitting its stride," helping to attract those high-intent customers that were adopting more products and spending more money. Why Did GoDaddy's Stock Drop? On February 24, 2026, GoDaddy issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K revealing that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025. While revenue growth hit the mark at 8% for the full year 2025, this sharp deceleration in total bookings growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 caused total bookings growth for the full year 2025 to come in at 7%, a departure from defendants' previously stated 8%. During GoDaddy's earnings call, defendants clarified that it had introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term, which "increased new customer volume that purchased domain units with one-year terms, but the demand for the offer was greater than we expected and the shift in term mix combined with the promotional price reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue." On this news, the price of GoDaddy common stock fell from a closing price of $92.30 per share on February 24, 2026, to a closing price of $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14%. Who Can Participate in the GoDaddy Class Action? The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired GoDaddy common stock between September 3, 2025 and February 24, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws. What Is a Lead Plaintiff? The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests of all class members throughout the litigation. Serving as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery. Investors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the case proceeds and later resolves successfully. Shareholders who wish to lead the case should contact Robbins LLP. Does it cost anything to participate? No. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis. Fees and litigation expenses are paid by defendants only if there is a recovery. Contact Robbins LLP Investors seeking additional information about the GoDaddy Inc. securities class action may contact Robbins LLP by submitting an inquiry, emailing attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or calling (800) 350-6003. About Robbins LLP Robbins LLP is a shareholder rights law firm focused on representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation.

GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) investors: Kaplan Fox files securities class action and announces opportunity for investors with substantial losses to lead the GoDaddy class action lawsuit. NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against GoDaddy Inc. ("GoDaddy" or the "Company") (NYSE: GDDY), captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07144, on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased GoDaddy common stock during the period September 3, 2025 through February 24, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period").

Fox ([email protected]) or Donald R. Hall ([email protected]), or contact them by phone, regular mail, or fax, or click here. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy "isn't to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers" and that "[w]e've seen the average order size go up," the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025. The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company's promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the "Press Release"). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.
