GoDaddy stock slips 1.89 percent as index exit adds pressure

GoDaddy stock (ISIN US3802371076) closed at USD 96.38 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down USD 1.86 or 1.89 percent from the prior session. The decline leaves the price 33.2 percent below its 52-week high of USD 144.34 as the company adjusts to a recent index change.

Index removal changes ownership

GoDaddy was removed from the FTSE All-World Index in September 2026, according to Simply Wall St. Index membership changes can alter passive fund ownership, but the more important test is whether operating growth can offset that technical shift.

GoDaddy's market capitalization stood at USD 12,761,661,054 on September 23, 2026. The gap between the latest price and the yearly high is material, yet the stock remains USD 24.79 above its 52-week low of USD 71.59.

Q2 growth meets the test

GoDaddy reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 1.3 billion, up 7 percent year over year, while annual recurring revenue increased 6 percent to USD 4.4 billion, according to Moomoo. Normalized EBITDA margin expanded by more than 200 basis points to 33.4 percent, giving investors a profitability counterweight to the share-price weakness.

For the same quarter, adjusted EPS reached USD 1.83 against a USD 1.69 consensus estimate, a USD 0.14 beat, while revenue exceeded the USD 1.29 billion estimate, as MarketBeat reported. That combination matters because it shows expansion in both sales and earnings rather than growth driven by revenue alone.

Stock remains below yearly high

GoDaddy stock closed at USD 96.38 on September 23, 2026, on the NYSE. The USD 12,761,661,054 market capitalization and the 33.2 percent distance from the 52-week high frame the investor debate around recurring revenue, margins and the company's AI products.
