Twilio Inc. · TWLO · FY2026 Q3 · Calendar Q4 2026
Twilio raises growth outlook as AI and software adoption expand
The quarter supports a constructive growth case: demand across communications products remains strong and management raised its outlook while investing in AI and software. The counterweight is that the largest business is lower margin, AI monetization is still early, and carrier fees create continuing execution risk.
