What Is The Market Telling Us

Twilio’s shares are very volatile and have had 25 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 4% on the news that reports of easing geopolitical tensions in Greenland boosted investor sentiment. 

The relief rally saw major indices, including the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, rebound as investors moved back into riskier assets. This positive shift was reflected across the technology landscape, with all of the Magnificent Seven tech firms seeing their shares climb. The easing of international friction reduced market uncertainty, which often encourages investment in growth-oriented sectors like technology. The move was part of a broader market upswing, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 500 points, signaling increased investor confidence.

Twilio is down 2.4% since the beginning of the year, but at $134.97 per share, it is still trading close to its 52-week high of $148.35 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Twilio’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $380.04.
