We recently published a list of These Were Last Week’s 10 Worst Performers. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO) stands against other last week’s worst performers.
Ten companies posted double-digit declines last week amid a series of dismal earnings performance and outlook guidance that weighed down on investor sentiment, bucking an overall strength of Wall Street’s main indices on a week’s basis.
Over the past five trading days, the Dow Jones registered growth of 0.5 percent, the S&P 500 increased by 1.47 percent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rallied by 2.57 percent.
To come up with the list, we only considered the stocks with at least $2 billion in market capitalization and $5 million in daily trading volume.
Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO) saw its share prices decline by 14 percent week-on-week, finishing Friday at $125.17 as compared with the $145.65 registered on February 7, as investors sold off positions following the company’s weak outlook for the current quarter, shunning last year’s better performance.
At intra-week trading, TWLO’s share prices hovered around the $140-level, before dropping heavily on Friday following announcements that it expects to see adjusted earnings per share of 88 to 93 cents for the first quarter on revenues of $1.13 billion to $1.14 billion. The company’s outlook was short of the 98 cents adjusted EPS as projected by analysts, while the revenue guidance fell just shy of the $1.14 billion expected.
During the last quarter, Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO) narrowed its net losses by 96 percent to $12.47 million versus the $365 million registered in the same period last year, despite 11 percent higher revenues of $1.194 billion versus $1.075 billion year-on-year.
Overall, TWLO ranks 9th on our list of other last week’s worst performers.
