💡 J.P. Morgan raises its TWLO recommendation to Buy and increases its target price to $ 465.
⚡️ Unlike J.P. Morgan expected the pandemic to have a more neutral impact on Twilio #TWLO, given the decline in customer activity, tourism, taxi aggregators and hospitality sectors (~ 10% of revenues excluding email), this was offset by strong growth in the healthcare / education / e-commerce sector (telemedicine and online food delivery orders).
⚡️ Growth factors:
The vast majority of messages processed by Twilio are outbound and one-way from business to customer. Analysts are already beginning to see a gradual rise in two-way messaging, which should be a multi-year driver of revenue growth.
Twilio is also heading in the right direction with the acquisition of Segment, which is a leading platform for researching customer activity across multiple channels. Analysts expect Segment's growth in API calls and overall call volume to be positive.
In addition, Segment has an impact on Twilio's growth rate and gross margin, as the company was growing 2x faster than the acquirer before the acquisition and had a gross margin (non-GAAP) of about 75%. Strengthening Twilio's market position and increasing customer engagement across multiple channels will accelerate growth in 2021.
