Twilio represents a compelling play on the hyper-growth of AI customer agents. Autonomous AI agents require low-latency, real-time voice and communication pipelines to interact with humans, and this firm provides the absolute gold standard for this exact infrastructure. This positioning shifts the company away from cyclical messaging volumes and transforms it into an essential backbone of corporate automation.
Meanwhile, the company holds a huge cash balance of $3.0 billion—and all in all, the company’s impressive customer base, leading products and high R&D (over 23% of sales) bode well for its future success in rapidly growing markets.
TWILIO INC. (Symbol TWLO on Nasdaq; www.twilio.com) offers a key service to software developers who create mobile apps. Specifically, its own software is used to connect apps to essential functions elsewhere on a device, including dealing with phone calls and messaging.
In November 2025, Twilio purchased Stytch Inc. The deal addresses a critical vulnerability in Twilio’s platform: as the use of autonomous AI agents expands, authentication systems designed for human-to-human interactions become insufficient. Through the combination of the two companies’ software, the new platform provides that necessary foundation for enterprise AI applications.
Meanwhile. in December 2025, Twilio announced a new strategic multi-year partnership with the LA Kings of the National Hockey League.
Now, as the team’s official away helmet partner, Twilio’s logo will appear prominently on the side of all the Kings’ away helmets during all regular season and playoff games beginning with the current 2025-26 season.
This positioning should provide Twilio with coast-to-coast exposure in some of its fastest growing and most important markets, while enhancing its visibility among fans and business audiences alike.
The deal, which was brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, marks Twilio’s first major partnership with a team in the National Hockey League and North American professional sports.

As part of the partnership, Twilio’s customer engagement technology will be implemented by the LA Kings, enabling fan communication before, during, and after games. Twilio will also use the away helmet exposure across the country, hosting away-game events and hospitality experiences in select markets. The away helmet placement ensures Twilio’s brand will be prominently featured during nationally televised games in major media markets through the NHL season including key metropolitan areas like Toronto, Seattle, Vegas, Dallas, Boston, New York and more.
