Decoding Twilio's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Twilio's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWLO#NYSE">TWLO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.69% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.03 million shares sold short, which is 2.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Twilio's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Twilio's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.18%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Twilio enables Cedar to streamline communications, elevating patient service and reducing provider costs with AI-driven automation and empathetic support
Twilio (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWLO#NYSE">TWLO</a>), the customer engagement platform that drives real-time, personalized experiences for leading brands, and <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cedar.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dpress-release%26utm_medium%3Dpr%26utm_campaign%3DPR%26utm_content%3Dwp&amp;esheet=54218435&amp;newsitemid=20250304590428&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Cedar&amp;index=1&amp;md5=0bb07910cc48cc4294df65019a542dd5">Cedar</a>, the leading patient financial experience platform for healthcare providers, today announced Twilio is powering Cedar's patient communications across SMS and Voice, including via Twilio's AI-powered ConversationRelay service, with the goals of improving the patient financial experience, driving operational efficiency and delivering cost reduction.
Navigating healthcare bills can be overwhelming, particularly for patients managing multiple providers or facing the burden of being uninsured. Simultaneously, healthcare providers are inundated with thousands of daily inquiries from patients seeking clarity on their financial obligations, driving up administrative costs. Cedar is addressing this systemic challenge by leveraging Twilio's scalable communications technology, seamlessly integrating it into its platform to enhance accessibility, streamline patient interactions, and create a more intuitive financial experience—while also reducing operational expenses for providers.
Cedar is leveraging Twilio's flexible and innovative solutions to build an AI-powered patient financial experience, including:
<ul>
<li>Streamlined Communication: Cedar utilizes Twilio's SMS capabilities to enhance bill notifications and appointment reminders, ensuring patients receive timely and effective updates.</li>
<li>Seamless Payment Experience: By integrating Twilio's Voice API and Stripe Pay Connector, Cedar enables patients to make secure payments over the phone with interactive voice response (IVR), including support for Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). With <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebri.org%2Fhealth%2Fcontent%2Fvital-statistics-on-flexible-spending-accounts--2022--forfeitures-on-the-rise&amp;esheet=54218435&amp;newsitemid=20250304590428&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=roughly+half+of+FSA+account+holders+forfeiting+funds&amp;index=2&amp;md5=3442c7b8a59c2b9c859ab57404e2ebf1">roughly half of FSA account holders forfeiting funds</a> due to lack of awareness, this will help patients maximize available resources.</li>
<li>Smart and Personalized Patient Support: Built on Twilio's ConversationRelay service, Cedar later this year will be able to automate inbound patient billing calls with AI-powered voice agents that provide quick answers, reduce wait times, and improve satisfaction.</li>
</ul>
Twilio's ConversationRelay service, which enables developers to create robust natural voice AI agents by seamlessly integrating real-time streaming, speech recognition, and interruption handling, will support HIPAA-eligible use cases in the coming weeks for healthcare providers.

Tigress Financial Maintains Buy on Twilio, Raises Price Target to $170

Shares of Twilio Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWLO#NYSE">TWLO</a>) were rising in early trading on Monday after having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TWLO">lost almost 15% over the past month</a>.
The company has the ability to generate double-digit growth and improve operating margins, driven by cross-sell motions, according to Morgan Stanley.
The Twilio Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58933b2143eaaa0001698f54/meta-marshall">Meta Marshall</a> upgraded Twilio&#8217;s rating from Equal-Weight to Overweight, while raising the price target from $144 to $160.
The Twilio Thesis: The sell-off of around 20% in the company's shares after the release of fourth-quarter results appears "overdone, creating attractive buying opportunity," Marshall said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Channel checks indicate that Twilio's "cross-sell motions have runway to recovery, which in turn should also help drive larger deals," he added.
In the core business, messaging and email are likely to continue driving double-digit growth "on back of continued traction in self-serve / ISV / cross-sell channels," the analyst stated.
"Our base case credits ~10% CAGR and achievement of operating margin targets a year ahead, given flow through of revenue upside to 7-8% growth targets," Marshall further wrote.
TWLO Price Action: Shares of Twilio had risen by1.85% to $116.42 at the time of publication on Monday.
