New York, (Newsfile Corp. - September 21, 2026) - A class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (GDDY) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the company's common stock between September 3, 2025, and February 24, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that GoDaddy made false and misleading statements during this period, which led to a significant decline in the company's stock price.
According to the complaint, GoDaddy had represented to investors that its strategy was focused on growing customers with a higher average order size. However, the company had implemented a promotion focusing on short-term contracts with smaller valuations. This strategy, the complaint states, led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.
On February 24, 2026, after the market closed, GoDaddy issued a press release revealing its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. The press release reported a sharp deceleration in total bookings growth to 5%, which caused the company's stock price to decline from $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. This decline represented a loss of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% of the stock's value, on heavier-than-usual trading volume.
Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP, a nationally recognized law firm, has announced that investors who believe they have suffered losses as a result of these alleged misrepresentations may contact the firm. The deadline for investors to move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class is no later than October 20, 2026.
Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP, founded in 1956, has spent more than 50 years prosecuting securities, antitrust, and consumer protection actions in federal and state courts nationwide, recovering more than $10 billion for clients and the classes it has represented. The firm is widely regarded as one of the nation's premier plaintiffs' securities litigation firms and has secured some of the largest recoveries in the history of securities litigation, including a $2.425 billion recovery on behalf of Bank of America shareholders and a $475 million settlement in In re Merrill Lynch.
