Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Twilio stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Twilio offers cloud-based software that helps developers make and receive phone calls, text messages and video chats. Estimates for the stock have remained unchanged, of late. The company’s key initiatives, which include product innovation, global expansion and acquisitions, are helping it in gaining customers, which bodes well for long-term growth. We opine that proliferation in cloud and mobile penetration across the globe will continue to fuel Twilio’s customer growth over the long run. However, its largest customer, Uber’s recent strategy on utilizing communication services will dent Twilio’s overall growth prospect throughout this year. Furthermore, intensifying competition in the communications market and growing prevalence of in-app push notifications are major concerns. Notably, the stock has underperformed the broader market in the last one year." (7/19/2017)
