We cut our target by $66 to $388 on: 1) strong 3Q 21 top-line growth of 65% Y/Y, though results were clouded by M&A, perturbations in normal growth patterns due to Covid, and higher Q-to-Q results variance due to TWLO's usage-based billing model; 2) only 38% organic growth (i.e., ex Segment and ZipWhip acquisitions) but still 2% higher than organic growth in 4Q 19 pre-Covid; 3) COO George Hu's resignation likely not due to a "deeper issue," but it's a loss - we've admired his competent leadership since his Salesforce.com days; 4) 3Q was messy but our conviction remains solid, especially with shares down 17%. Our $388 target is a product of our $4.98B revenue forecast for '22, $209M lower and rolled forward from '23, and a 14.6x P/S (two-year mean, less 8% due to GAAP losses, partially offset by $4.1B in net cash). Revenue of $740M, +65% Y/Y, beat consensus by $56M; EPS of $0.01, down $0.03 Y/Y, but beat by $0.15. Our '21 EPS forecast remains -$0.12, but we cut '22 by $0.26 to $0.11 and '23 by $1.09 to $0.86.
