Twilio (NYSE:TWLO)
Twilio stock is down 7% as of 11 a.m. ET today. The stock of cloud communications services providers dropped by more than 75% in 2022, further exacerbating the rapid slide. The decline was sparked by rising recession fears and anticipation of a disappointing earnings report from Twilio (NYSE:TWLO).
What’s the Reason?
Wall Street gloom was the primary culprit in the Twilio stock decline. The most recent data on inflation indicated that price increases persisted unabated during September. If inflation remains subdued, investors may be able to persuade the Federal Reserve to slow the pace of its interest rate hikes.
Even while today’s news makes such a change less probable, investors still have to worry about the possibility of a recession. Companies like Twilio, which are still losing money despite the rapid expansion in the market today, are particularly vulnerable to this kind of negative outlook.
When Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) releases its quarterly report, investors are concerned about what the company may reveal regarding sales patterns. Specific industry competitors, including Zoom, reported slower demand growth through late 2022. Perhaps in early November, Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) will make an announcement with a tone similar to this one.
What’s Next?
On the same day this report is due out, November 3rd, the Twilio management team will be hosting their annual investor day presentation. In early August, executives stated they were closely watching the changing macroeconomic situation. These two updates will indicate whether or not the company now sees a need to be more cautious about sales patterns in late 2022 and early 2023.
Revenue increased by 41% year over year in Q2, and company leadership indicated they were “confident in our growth trajectory.”
Twilio stock might improve if that trend doesn’t worsen significantly over the next three months. Twilio stock price is expected to remain volatile if sales challenges emerge with ongoing net losses.
