Commenting on the results, Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron said he continues to be bullish on the stock despite the weak third-quarter guidance. The company appears on track to meet its fiscal-year 2022 target of 30% organic revenue growth, benefiting from the “Engage” launch and higher political activity in the fourth quarter, he added.

After slumping 13.51% to $84.92 on Friday, Twilio stock added 0.59% to $85.42 in after-hours trading, according to Benzinga Pro data.
