Twilio shares are sliding as traders lock in recent gains and react to reports of fresh insider selling by the CEO and other top executives, all against a weak backdrop for communication services stocks. The pullback comes after a strong seven-session rally that had been powered by a bullish Jefferies upgrade and a higher price target of $160.
That earlier upgrade helped drive the stock sharply higher, setting the stage for today’s bout of profit‑taking as some investors question how much upside is left in the near term. With the sector under pressure and insiders cashing out some holdings, the market is re‑evaluating whether Twilio’s recent optimism justifies the upgraded $160 target at this stage.
