Warren Buffett would likely not invest in Twilio Inc. at its current stage. While Twilio has a promising growth trajectory, a moderate competitive moat, and improving management, it falls short of Buffett’s criteria in several key areas:
- Lack of consistent profitability and predictable earnings.
- A tech-heavy business model with competitive risks and a less durable moat.
- A valuation that doesn’t offer a clear margin of safety.
- A fast-evolving industry that may feel too speculative for Buffett’s long-term, value-driven approach.
Buffett might reconsider if Twilio achieves sustained GAAP profitability, strengthens its moat, or trades at a significantly lower valuation. For now, it’s more suited to growth-oriented investors than Buffett’s conservative, value-focused strategy.
