Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (20%)+75%

Stytch's strategic value for Twilio's AI agent identity layer was recognized with a significant acquisition premium, valuing Stytch effectively at $1.5B (1.5x prior valuation). The integrated Stytch product line then drives exceptional growth within Twilio, leading to a strong appreciation of Twilio's stock by an additional 20% over the next two years, resulting in a total 75% upside for the converted equity.

Base (55%)+15%

The acquisition occurred at a fair value around Stytch's last private valuation of $1.0B. The converted Twilio stock performs moderately, aligning with Twilio's projected double-digit revenue growth (8-15% YoY) and market expectations, leading to a 15% appreciation over the 2-year horizon.

Bear (25%)-40%

The acquisition value for Stytch was at a discount to its last private valuation, or common shareholders received less due to liquidation preferences, effectively valuing Stytch at $0.7B (0.7x prior valuation). Furthermore, Twilio's stock underperforms due to market headwinds or integration challenges, declining by 20% over the next two years, resulting in a total 44% downside for the converted equity.

Funding Intensity

15%

Stytch raised $146M in total funding against a $1.0B valuation, meaning investors held $146M in liquidation preferences. In a liquidation event at or below $146M, common shareholders would receive little to nothing.

Dilution Risk

low

As Stytch has been acquired by Twilio, future dilution of Stytch-specific equity is no longer a concern. Any future dilution would be related to Twilio's overall equity strategy.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Prior to the acquisition, there was limited secondary market activity for Stytch shares. Post-acquisition, liquidity for converted equity is through Twilio's publicly traded shares.
