Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity markets wiped over $2 trillion off their value during Friday's plunge, after President Trump stated that he would slap an additional 100% tariff on all existing tariffs. He walked back those comments over the weekend, suggesting the US and China will reach a deal before the November 1^st deadline. The government continues its shutdown, the AI bubble rages on, and investors will receive a busy week of earnings, led by major banks. Equity futures suggest a massive rally will start the week, clawing back over 50% of Friday's sell-off, but investors should brace for more volatility Fundamental Analysis

GoDaddy is the world's fifth-largest web hosting company with over 20M+ customers. It focuses on micro and small companies.

So, why am I bearish on GDDY despite its 33%+ correction?

The latest AI-based addition to the GoDaddy ecosystem appears more as a desperate attempt to catch the hype and stem the sell-off than a revenue-driving development. The trailing three-year average return on invested capital is notably below the industry average, while long-term debt is excessive. I am also alarmed by the 50%+ plunge in earnings per share, and its soft estimated sales growth over the coming twelve months.
