Twilio experiences sustained growth during ten consecutive sessions
V appreciated Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) shares, soaring 4.9% to $105 on Monday, following a ten-session winning streak.
The climb represents a 19.4% gain in the nine preceding sessions. Unfortunately, Twilio’s stock has slipped 7.6% this year. However, looking back to the year 2024, TWLO gleamed, shooting up an impressive 52%, surpassing its industry peers and broader market indices.
While Twilio’s current performance in 2025 displays some challenges, it's essential to keep a cautiously optimistic view.
Financial Picture
In the first quarter of 2025, Twilio reported revenues of approximately $1.18 billion to $1.19 billion, a 9-10% year-over-year growth. Although the non-GAAP EPS and guidance slightly missed some analysts' expectations, management's confidence in operating efficiency and cash generation has been demonstrated through increased non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow targets. The company now expects organic revenue growth in the range of 7.5% to 8.5% year-over-year.
Analyst Forecasts
Monthly average price forecasts indicate Twilio's stock could cruise from current levels of around $79-$82 in mid-2025 to $90-$92 by November-December 2025, with monthly gains generally ranging from 2.6% to 4.2% during these months. Wall Street analysts save a guarded optimistic outlook, with an average price target of approximately $124, indicating a potential upside of about 26%. The high analyst target goes up to $180, while the low estimate is $75.
Beyond the Hurdles
Twilio's stock has faced hurdles this year, with slowing demand, weaker-than-expected profit outlooks, and broader economic challenges like tariff wars and economic slowdown causing a decline of about 18.2%. Despite these setbacks, Twilio's positive analyst price targets and revenue growth, combined with improved financial guidance, suggest potential for moderate recovery and growth through the rest of 2025.
Investors should brace for some volatility as Twilio navigates this challenging tech environment, aiming to capitalize on expanding demand for its communication platform services.
