Twilio stock in red on weak earnings guidance despite Q4 top line beat
February 12, 2019
Twilio (NYSE: TWLO) fourth-quarter earnings came in line with estimates while revenue surpassed street estimates comfortably. Yesterday, Twilio’s stock hit a new 52-week high level eclipsing 9 mark. After the earnings announcement, shares of the firm were down above 6% in the extended hours of trading as earnings outlook failed to impress the street.
For the fourth quarter, revenue jumped 77% to 4.3 million while adjusted EPS came in at .04. Analysts were expecting earnings to come in at 4 cents per share on revenue of 5.01 million. Last quarter, the company had guided Q4 revenues to be in the range of 3 million to 5 million and adjusted earnings to be between .03 and .04 per share.
Non-GAAP earnings failed to beat analyst estimates primarily due to an increase in the stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses over the prior year. The Q4 loss per share more than doubled to .47 compared to the loss of .20 per share due to increase in the expenses.
