Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Some durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
18.4% average over the last 3 years
±6.3 pts around 10.4% across 10 years
grew in 9 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what GDDY's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. GDDY trades near $92.85, around its 50-day average ($84.94) and 200-day average ($105.26). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 74 it is overbought — the recent rally is stretched and can cool off.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. GDDY's is $3.84 (~4.1% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month GDDY found buyers near $71.59 (support) and sellers near $88.86 (resistance); its 52-week range is $71.59–$179.61. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.7× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Debt / Equity

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 17.6x, and operating profit covers interest about 6.3x, with a current ratio of 0.7x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $3.78B of total debt against $966.70M of cash.
Operating CF
$1.60B
Free Cash Flow
$1.58B
FCF Margin
31.8%
In the latest year GoDaddy produced about $1.60B of operating cash flow and $1.58B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 4.4% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

GDDY trades at 14.2x trailing earnings (about 11.7x on estimated forward earnings), 2.1x sales, and 91.8x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly -3.9% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is an undemanding multiple — potentially cheap if the business is stable.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for GDDY:
- High net margins (17.3%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Strong return on equity (366.9%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~4.4%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Our model's overall read is Favorable (60/100).
The case against GDDY:
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 17.6x) adds financial risk.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 17.6x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: GoDaddy is a large-cap information technology business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 14.2x earnings, which our model scores Favorable (60/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
