Down 56%: Has the market lost interest in Life360 shares?

Small kid giving a thumbs up.

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360) shares have fallen further into the red in Wednesday lunchtime trade.

At the time of writing, the shares are down around 1.5% and are changing hands for $20.67 a piece.

The latest decline means the shares are now down 36% year-to-date, and are 56% lower than 12 months ago.

What happened to Life360 shares?

The company’s shares were caught up in a tech-sector-wide sell-off over the past year, as investors sold their tech shares amid growing fears that companies’ core services could be replaced by AI.  

The rotation away from the tech sector saw the Life360 share price steadily tumble from an all-time high of $55.44 in early October, to an annual low of $17.91 in mid-April.

But it looked like the shares had bottomed out, and they rallied through June to early August on the back of a strong quarterly result in mid-May and renewed investor confidence.

But then the company posted an unimpressive second-quarter FY26 update two weeks ago, and it once again slashed investor sentiment.

Life360 recorded a 38% increase in revenue, to US$159 million, and a 53% increase in adjusted EBITDA, to US$31.1 million.

Global monthly active users increased by 4.6 million in the quarter, bringing the total to approximately 102.4 million – up 16% compared to the previous year.

Looking ahead, Life360 still expects FY26 revenue growth to accelerate between 33% to 40% year-on-year to between US$650 million and US$685 million. Adjusted EBITDA is also still expected to be between US$130 million to US$140 million.

Clearly, investors are displeased with the result. It appears that many shareholders expected another upward revision to FY26 revenue guidance.

Since that results announcement, Life360 shares have shed 30% of their value.

What do brokers tip for the shares next?

It looks like the experts are still bullish on Life360 shares, expecting a recovery over the next 12 months.

Market Index shows that brokers currently agree to a buy rating on the shares. The $31.73 average target price implies a potential 54% upside, at the time of writing.

TradingView data shows something similar. Out of 13 analysts, 12 currently hold a buy/strong buy rating on Life360 shares. The average target price is $31.21, implying around a 51% upside at the time of writing. However, some think the shares could climb 97% to $40.76 a share over the next 12 months.
