The company made efforts to offeradvanced but simplified solutions in a bid to expand its small business clientele, thereby expanding its Hosting and Presence revenues.
However, the company faces significant competition in domain, hosting and presence markets from companies like Endurance, Amazon and Google, among others. Moreover the heavy debt burden, high interest payments and other controversies surrounding the company could pose challenges in the upcoming quarter.
What Our Model Says
According to the Zacks model, a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has a good chance of beating estimates if it also has a positive Earnings ESP. Sell-rated stocks (Zacks Rank #4 or 5) are best avoided.
However, GoDaddy has a Zacks Rank #4 and an Earnings ESP of -61.54%.
