Artisan Mid Cap Fund Matt Kamm, Jason White, Jim Hamel, Angela Wu, Jay Warner | “Twilio ($TWLO) provides a comprehensive cloud communications platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) that allows software developers and corporations to embed programmable SMS, voice, video, and email capabilities directly into customer-facing applications. The investment team added to its Garden position following share price weakness, anticipating that rising enterprise adoption of AI voice agents will accelerate demand for its foundational messaging pipes. Twilio's financial profile combines high-volume transactional communications with increasingly high-margin software applications such as Segment customer data platforms. By enforcing rigorous operational cost discipline and streamlining corporate overhead, Twilio has driven substantial operating leverage and cash flow expansion, highlighted by 17% organic year-over-year revenue growth. The rollout of AI voice agents serves as a significant economic driver, as complex voice interactions generate substantially higher gross profit per interaction than basic automated text notifications. Crucial catalysts feature enterprise deployment of autonomous voice bots and sustained multi-product software adoption across corporate accounts. Major risks include carrier fee increases impacting gross margins, pricing compression in commodity SMS delivery, and competitive pressure from rival cloud communication APIs.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
