Is GDDY a buy according to UQS?

UQS rates GDDY as Below Average at 48.9/100, driven primarily by a Valuation pillar of 97.1 — reflecting P/FCF of 7.4 and EV/EBITDA of 11.1 versus a sector median of 15.4. However, the Risk pillar scores just 9.2, reflecting debt/equity of 17.96 and a current ratio of 0.61. The composite score reflects this tension between cheap valuation and elevated financial risk.

What is GDDY's PEG ratio and what does it mean?

GDDY's PEG ratio is 1.92, above the sector median of 1.27. A PEG between 1 and 2 is generally considered fairly priced relative to growth, but 1.92 sits toward the expensive end of that range. Given the forward EPS growth estimate of 41.7%, the PEG could compress materially if those estimates are realized — though the current reading suggests the market is not pricing in deep value on a growth-adjusted basis.

Why might GDDY's UQS Score change?

The UQS Score updates daily based on trailing twelve-month financials and forward analyst consensus estimates. If forward EPS growth of 41.7% is revised downward, the Growth pillar (currently 26.1) could weaken further. Conversely, debt reduction improving the net debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.15 would lift the Risk pillar from its current 9.2. Significant margin changes would also affect the Quality pillar score.

How is the GDDY UQS Score Calculated?

The UQS (Unified Quality Score) for GoDaddy Inc. is calculated using a proprietary 6-pillar framework with 29 financial metrics. Each pillar evaluates a different dimension on a 0–100 scale, then combines into a single weighted score. Scoring thresholds are calibrated per sector. Momentum is an optional Pro toggle — without it, you get the 5-pillar / 25-metric core shown below.

Quality (25%) measures profitability and capital efficiency — ROIC, ROE, margins, GP/Assets, and FCF Yield.

Moat (25%) assesses GoDaddy Inc.'s competitive advantages across switching costs, network effects, cost advantages, intangible assets, and ecosystem scale.

Growth (20%) tracks revenue trajectory and earnings momentum, combining historical results with analyst forward estimates.

Risk (15%) is inversely scored — lower leverage and strong balance sheet health result in higher scores.

Valuation (15%) measures whether GoDaddy Inc. is fairly priced using earnings yield, price-to-FCF, PEG ratio, and EV/EBITDA relative to sector peers.

Six investor-inspired presets are available, each with different pillar weights: Balanced, Buffett, Munger, Lynch, Cathie Wood, and Graham. The public score shown here uses the Balanced preset. Learn more in our FAQ.
