Twilio’s Stock Skyrockets by 25% Following Exceptional Q2 Earnings and AI Product Surge
San Francisco, August 8, 2026 — Cloud communications titan, Twilio Inc. (NYSE: TWLO), unveiled a remarkable Q2 earnings report, triggering a 25% surge in its stock on Friday. This is one of the company’s most impressive single-session performances in recent years.
The company reported an adjusted earnings per share of $1.47, comfortably surpassing the analyst consensus estimates of $1.32.

The free cash flow also demonstrated significant growth, reaching $352.6 million — a substantial increase from $263.5 million in Q2 2025.
