Is GoDaddy under- or over-valued?

Valuing GoDaddy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of GoDaddy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

GoDaddy's P/E ratio

GoDaddy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 76x. In other words, GoDaddy shares trade at around 76x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

GoDaddy's PEG ratio

GoDaddy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.61. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into GoDaddy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

GoDaddy's EBITDA

GoDaddy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$490.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a GoDaddy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting GoDaddy shares

There are currently 7.6 million GoDaddy shares held short by investors – that's known as GoDaddy's "short interest". This figure is 11.2% down from 8.6 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting GoDaddy shares can be evaluated.

GoDaddy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

GoDaddy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GoDaddy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GoDaddy shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). GoDaddy's SIR currently stands at 5.63. In other words for every 100,000 GoDaddy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5630 shares are currently held short.

However GoDaddy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GoDaddy shares, or, against the total number of tradable GoDaddy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GoDaddy's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GoDaddy shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0456% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GoDaddy shares, roughly 46 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against GoDaddy.
