GoDaddy Inc - Class A (NYSE:GDDY) reported third-quarter financial results for 2025, delivering a performance that surpassed analyst expectations on key profitability and revenue metrics. The market's immediate reaction has been cautiously positive, with the stock edging higher in after-hours trading following the announcement.
Q3 2025 Financial Performance
The company's results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, demonstrated solid operational execution, particularly in its core revenue-generating activities. The earnings report highlighted a company that continues to grow its top line while maintaining profitability above market forecasts.
- Revenue: The company reported sales of $1.27 billion, a 10.3% increase compared to the same period last year. This figure came in above the analyst consensus estimate of approximately $1.26 billion.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS): On a GAAP basis, earnings per share were reported at $1.51. This surpassed the average analyst estimate of $1.49 per share, indicating stronger-than-expected profitability.
Market Reaction and Guidance
The initial market response has been modestly favorable. The stock registered a slight gain in after-hours trading, suggesting investors viewed the earnings beat positively. However, this reaction appears measured, likely tempered by the company's outlook for the upcoming quarter. While the company did not provide a full commentary in the initial press release, it did issue revenue guidance for the fourth quarter. The projected sales of $1.27 billion for Q4 fell slightly below the analyst consensus estimate of $1.30 billion. This softer forward-looking projection may be counterbalancing the positive surprise from the Q3 results, preventing a more robust rally in the share price.
Press Release Summary
The primary announcement from GoDaddy served as a formal notification of the release of its Q3 2025 financial results. The company directed investors and the public to its Investor Relations website to access the complete earnings release, a supporting presentation, and prepared remarks from management. The press release itself was a high-level summary, with the detailed financial data and management commentary available through the provided link.
Recent Stock Performance Context
The positive after-hours movement contrasts with the stock's performance over recent weeks. Leading up to the earnings announcement, the share price had experienced a slight downward trend.
- Performance over the last month: -4.2%
- Performance over the last two weeks: -2.8%
- Performance over the last week: -4.4%
This pre-earnings weakness may have set a lower bar for the company to exceed, and the better-than-expected results have provided a catalyst for a near-term rebound, albeit a cautious one.
