There is something so scary about the technology companies like Twilio that a regular retail investor would like to stay away from them. That something is their business model. TWLO is not like Apple and Google that we experience in our daily life and thus the business model becomes intuitive. Thankfully to decode Twilio's products and services, I could reach out to my husband who is a coder by profession. My questions to him were: 1. What Twilio offers? 2. Will you use what they offer or you would like to do it yourself?
TWLO provides an interface (access) to their communication platform which any developer can integrate with their application (like WhatsApp, UBER's mobile App etc.) to achieve desirable multimedia functionality like sending/receiving SMS/videos/IM/voice message etc. This explanation makes it very easy to understand the jargon CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service), the industry TWLO operates in.

Amphenol (NYSE:APH) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “Amphenol is benefiting from its end-market strength. As evident from fourth-quarter results, revenues are being driven by strong organic growth across mobile devices, military, IT and data communications, mobile networks, commercial air and broadband. Moreover, continuing focus on geographic and market diversification has enabled Amphenol to extend its presence into new customers and new applications. Shares have outperformed the industry in the past year. However, management expects first quarter sales to be negatively impacted by global economic uncertainties related to trade policy and weakness in the mobile devices end market. The geopolitical uncertainty particularly related to the U.S.-China relationship remains a major headwind.”

- [By Lou Whiteman]
There's more at stake for Huntington Ingalls and fellow shipbuilder General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) beyond the $6.5 billion in lost refueling revenue. A modern aircraft carrier does not sail alone but rather relies on a large number of escorts and affiliated ships that also need to be acquired and staffed. There is also the expense of finding pilots for the large number of planes that are housed on a carrier.
