Twilio Q3 2026 earnings beat estimates but shares tumble on slower Q4 growth outlook

Twilio reported Q3 2026 revenue of $1.56 billion, up 19.9% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.65, beating consensus estimates. The company guided Q4 revenue to $1.595‑$1.605 billion, implying organic growth of only 11%‑12% YoY, and raised its full‑year 2026 revenue growth outlook to 20%. Despite the beat, the stock fell sharply after the release.

The guidance signals a marked slowdown in organic revenue growth, which could compress valuation multiples and pressure the share price, as reflected by the post‑earnings decline.
