What are Wall Street analysts saying about Twilio stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Twilio stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Twilio is benefiting from a solid product menu and an increasing customer base. The company is not only gaining from a robust expansion of its existing clientele but is also aided by the first-time deals with the new ones, courtesy of Twilio’s firm focus on introducing products and the go-to-market sales strategy. Strong growth in the company’s core voice and messaging products is a key driver. Rising adoption of new products is also driving its dollar-based net expansion rate. Shares have outperformed the industry in the past year. Estimates have been stable ahead of the company's Q1 earnings release. The company has positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. However, heightening competition in the cloud telecommunications market is inducing pricing pressure for the company, which is an overhang on its profitability." (4/30/2019)
- 2. Stephens analysts commented, "We are reiterating our Equal-Weight/Volatile rating as Twilio’s growth opportunities are offset by margin headwinds from its international expansion and new carrier fees imposed on long- code A2P (application-to-person) SMS messaging, which are expected to go into effect on April 1. Twilio trades at a premium to fast-growth SaaS peers, at 11.8x CY19 EV/sales vs. peers at 11.0x; we maintain our $110 PT." (4/1/2019)
