TWLO Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

Neither score is at an extreme today. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where TWLO sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.

Protection is priced in the cheap band (1.2) — options are pricing vol 46% below what the stock has actually been realizing, and near-dated vol is priced 22% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (5.42): its realized-vol regime is expanding, and it is trading 4% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability.
