Twilio Is Initiated at Outperform With $135 Price Target at RBC
Twilio (TWLO) - Get Report rose Friday after RBC Capital Markets initiated coverage on the stock with an outperform rating and a $135 one-year price target on what it sees as "one of the most durable growth stories in software."
In a note initiating coverage on the company, RBC Capital analyst Alex Zukin said Twilio's customer service-focused communications offerings are "disrupting one of the largest pools of enterprise spend," adding that he sees both "long-term durable growth and upside to consensus revenue estimates."
Twilio, which provides cloud-based communication platforms for customer service use, including the ability for customers to chat online for customer support, last month unveiled a suite of tools and improvements called Twilio Conversations that analysts expect will see strong demand.
