Twilio Surges in Volume Despite Plummeting Price as It Ranks 463rd in Market Activity

On July 31, 2025, Twilio (TWLO) saw a trading volume of $0.32 billion, a 57.81% increase from the previous day, ranking 463rd in market activity. The stock closed down 1.47% for the session.

Analysts anticipate Twilio’s Q2 2025 earnings report on August 7 to show a 17.2% year-over-year increase in EPS to $1.02 and a 9.5% revenue rise to $1.19 billion. Despite a positive Earnings ESP of +1.76%, indicating recent analyst optimism, the stock holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), complicating predictions of an earnings beat. Over the past four quarters, Twilio has exceeded EPS estimates three times, including a 23.91% surprise in its last reported quarter.

Institutional activity highlights mixed signals. Zurcher Kantonalbank increased its stake by 1.5%, now owning 0.11% of Twilio valued at $16.6 million, while insider sales, including CEO Khozema Shipchandler’s 5.22% reduction in holdings, suggest caution. Analyst ratings remain split, with KeyCorp and Goldman Sachs issuing “overweight” or “buy” ratings, though Mizuho cut its price target. The stock carries a “Moderate Buy” consensus with an average price target of $127.22.

Technical indicators suggest a short-term rising trend, with moving averages signaling a buy, though a recent pivot top sell signal adds caution. The stock is projected to range between $142.06 and $161.98 over three months. However, volume divergence on recent gains raises short-term uncertainty.

A backtest of a strategy purchasing top 500 high-volume stocks and holding for one day yielded a 166.71% return from 2022 to present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights momentum-driven strategies’ potential in capturing market movements.
