# GoDaddy (GDDY) Valuation Check As New AI Tools And Open Agent Standards Draw Attention

GoDaddy (GDDY) recently launched Airo for WordPress, an AI driven website experience for small businesses and web professionals, while also supporting open AI agent standards with Infoblox through the Agent Name Service initiative.

See our latest analysis for GoDaddy.

Despite the AI product launches and open standards work, GoDaddy’s share price return has been mixed. The stock is at US$87.18, with a 1-month share price return of 5.89%, but a year-to-date share price return down 26.44%. The 3-year total shareholder return of 21.86% points to stronger longer term delivery than the 1-year total shareholder return, which is down 54.16%.

So with GoDaddy trading at US$87.18, a 3 year total return in positive territory but the 1 year performance sharply lower, and a sizeable gap to the average analyst price target, is there hidden value here or is the market already pricing in future growth?

## Most Popular Narrative: 27% Undervalued

GoDaddy’s most followed narrative puts fair value at about $119.43 per share, compared with the current $87.18 price. This naturally raises questions about what is driving that gap.

> _The increasing need for online presence among small and medium businesses, coupled with greater global internet adoption, is driving expansion in GoDaddy's addressable market, reflected in double-digit growth for high-margin Applications & Commerce (A&C) revenue and bookings. This is likely to support sustained top-line growth._

However, if AI agents fail to gain traction or rivals like Shopify and Wix draw more small businesses away, the margin and growth narrative could quickly lose support.
