We publish no single base value for GoDaddy. Our valuation methods put it between $115.20 and $253.90 a share. The valuation code's reason: no point fair value: the two anchors behind it compound the same growth rate and differ only in how they end — a perpetuity at the terminal rate against a multiple on the final year — so the midpoint between them measures terminal treatment rather than what the business is worth. The published range is the same reading with the false precision removed: read it as the span the method supports, and treat neither edge as a point estimate.
| Method | Value | vs price | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discounted cash flow | $253.90 | +126.0% | free cash flow $1.74bn, growth 6% for 5 years, then fading to 3% over 5 more, discounted at 9.72%; stress floor $163.87 |
| Exit multiple (P/E) | $115.20 | +2.6% | earnings per share $7.56 valued at 19.15× (the stock's own median P/E) in 5 years, discounted back |

Each working is rebuilt by code from the valuation's own figures and checked against the published value.
The discount rate:
| Risk-free rate | 5.13% (10-year US Treasury yield) |
| Company's own beta | 0.94 (5 years of monthly returns against the S&P 500; standard error 0.26) |
| Peer beta | 1.34 (median of 73 S&P 500 Information Technology companies) |
| Blend of own and peers | 1.03 (78% own, 22% peers, weighted by how precisely the company's own beta is measured) |
| Adjusted beta | 1.02 (0.67 × 1.03 + 0.33, pulled toward the market's 1.0) |
| Equity risk premium | 4.5% |
| Discount rate = risk-free + adjusted beta × premium | 9.72% |
Free cash flow grows 6.00% a year for 5 years, then fades in equal steps toward 3% over 5 more; each year is discounted by 1 ÷ (1 + rate)^year:

One-year price simulation: a 10% chance the price is below $55.88 and a 10% chance it is above $209.14 in a year; a 47% chance it is higher than today's $112.33, from 51.23% volatility. The simulation assumes the price drifts up at our discount rate of 9.72% a year.
At $112.33 the price implies free cash flow growing -7.7% a year for five years and then fading toward 3% over five more; its revenue has grown 6.0%.
