This quarter analysts are expecting GoDaddy's revenue to grow 6% year on year to $1.10 billion, improving on the 2% year-over-year increase in revenue the company had recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $1.25 per share.

GoDaddy Total Revenue

Majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last thirty days, suggesting they are expecting the business to stay the course heading into the earnings. The company missed Wall St's revenue estimates five times over the last two years.

Looking at GoDaddy's peers in the sales and marketing software segment, some of them have already reported Q4 earnings results, giving us a hint what we can expect. VeriSign delivered top-line growth of 3% year on year, beating analyst estimates by 0.7% and LiveRamp reported revenues up 9.6% year on year, exceeding estimates by 1.2%. VeriSign traded flat on the results, LiveRamp was down 2.3%.

There has been positive sentiment among investors in the sales and marketing software segment, with the stocks up on average 8.2% over the last month. GoDaddy is up 7.6% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $113.6, compared to share price of $112.8.

One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.
