Key Factors to Aid GDDY’s Q3 Earnings

GoDaddy has been benefiting from strong momentum across the Applications & Commerce (A&C) business, and expansion in its global footprint. Strength in Create & Grow solutions has been aiding the Application & Commerce segment's top-line growth. Strength in website and marketing, driven by greater engagement with customers based on product launches, has been contributing well.

GoDaddy expects third-quarter A&C revenue growth in the mid-teens and Core revenue growth in the low-single digits. Its pricing and bundling efforts are expected to have driven top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

GoDaddy has been improving its footprint in Commerce, which is expected to have benefited top-line growth in the quarter under review. GoDaddy Airo’s expanding availability is noteworthy.

Small Business Focus to Aid GDDY’s Q3 Results

The company’s focus on small businesses and expanding clientele has been a key catalyst. In the second quarter, it launched the Digital Marketing Suite, offering personalized marketing tools to help users grow their businesses without a website.

GoDaddy introduced the Smart Terminal Flex in April, a compact and versatile Point-of-Sale terminal designed to improve efficiency for small businesses through modern features and seamless integration across various sales channels.

In May, the company expanded its Small Business GenAI Prompt Library, offering more than 185 updated prompts and capabilities to support small business owners globally.

Further expanding its footprint in digital marketing in August, GoDaddy introduced Digital Marketing, an all-in-one solution designed to streamline marketing efforts with AI-powered tools, social media integration and a unified inbox for small business owners.

These factors are expected to have driven GoDaddy’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
