• 3 reasons to buy the dip on Life360 shares today

    Three generation of women cuddling and smiling together.

    Life360 Inc (ASX: 360) shares are tumbling today.

    Shares in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) location sharing software developer closed yesterday trading for $23.19. During the Tuesday lunch hour, shares are changing hands for $22.49 apiece, down 3.0%.

    For some context, the ASX 200 is up 0.1% at this same time.

    Taking a step back, Life360 shares have slumped 29.7% over the past 12 months.

    The company has faced a few headwinds, including the broader selling pressure that hit many Aussie and global Software as a Service (SaaS) stocks. That pressure followed growing investor concerns that artificial intelligence could replace a lot of the services these companies offer.

    More recently, the ASX 200 tech stock has been enjoying a strong rebound. Indeed, shares are up 18.6% over the past month, smashing the 1.4% gains delivered by the benchmark index over this same period.

    And looking ahead, Bell Potter Securities’ Christopher Watt believes Life360 is well-placed to keep outperforming in the months ahead (courtesy of The Bull).

    Here’s why.

    Why Life360 shares could keep marching higher

    “This information technology company provides a mobile networking safety app for families,” Watt said.

    Citing the first reason he’s bullish on the ASX 200 stock he noted, “Active user growth is rebounding following a technical issue, while paying circle growth, which drives revenue, recently exceeded expectations.”

    As for the second reason you might want to buy Life360 shares today, Watt added, “Guidance has been upgraded. Once focus returns to paying circles, I expect a re-rating to follow.”

    Then there’s the recent share price rebound and the company’s pending half year (H1 2026) results.

    According to Watt:

    The upcoming August result is a catalyst. The company has been enjoying strong price momentum, with the shares rising from $17.91 on May 20 to trade at $22.54 on June 18.

    What’s the latest from the ASX 200 tech stock?

    The last release deemed price sensitive to Life360 shares was the company’s Q1 2026 update on 12 May.

    Among the highlights, the company reported quarterly revenue of US$143.1 million, up 38% from Q1 2025. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of US$17.1 million were up 7%.

    As for the guidance upgrade Watt mentioned above, Life360 raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between US$650 and US$685 million. That was up from prior revenue guidance of US$640 million to US$680 million.

    Management also expects to deliver improved earnings, boosting Life360’s full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to US$130 to US$140 million, up from the prior guidance of US$128 million to US$138 million.

  • Why A2 Milk, Calix, CSL, and Ioneer shares are charging higher today

    a man in a business suite throws his arms open wide above his head and raises his face with his mouth open in celebration in front of a background of an illuminated board tracking stock market movements.

    The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is having a mildly positive session on Tuesday. In afternoon trade, the benchmark index is up slightly to 8,822.7 points.

    Four ASX shares that are rising more than most today are listed below. Here’s why they are climbing:

    A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M)

    The A2 Milk share price is up 3% to $6.97. Investors have been buying this infant formula company’s shares this week after it received approval from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) to transition two China label infant milk formula (IMF) product registrations. A2 Milk’s CEO, David Bortolussi, said: “SAMR approval marks a significant milestone in our China growth strategy and Supply Chain transformation. It supports long-term growth in our core IMF business through market access and innovation, accelerates the development of advanced nutritional manufacturing capability, and captures attractive financial returns through incremental brand contribution and vertical margin capture.”

    Calix Ltd (ASX: CXL)

    The Calix share price is up 9.5% to 40 cents. This morning, this industrial technology company announced a joint development agreement (JDA) with Ambuja Cements Limited (Ambuja Cements). It is a subsidiary of the Adani Group. The two parties will work together on a commercial scale project at the Sanghi cement plant in Gujarat, India. Ambuja Cements’ director, Karan Adani, said: “The cement industry’s transition to a lower-carbon future will require bold thinking, technological innovation and collaboration across the value chain. Our partnership with [Calix subsidiary] Leilac reflects our commitment to evaluating next-generation technologies that can reduce process emissions while improving energy efficiency and supporting long-term sustainable growth. This initiative aligns with our vision of building world-class manufacturing operations for the future.”

    CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

    The CSL share price is up 2.5% to $115.66. This is despite there being no news out of the biotechnology giant on Tuesday. However, it is worth noting that CSL’s shares have been rebounding from their multi-year low this month. So much so, CSL shares have risen by 22% since the start of the month.

    Ioneer Ltd (ASX: INR)

    The Ioneer share price is up 18% to 16.5 cents. This morning, the lithium developer announced strategic non-binding letters of intent (LOIs) with the Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation and Hyundai Engineering Co. These will see the parties work together to advance the development of the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project. Ioneer’s managing director, Bernard Rowe, said: “Rhyolite Ridge has been a decade in the making — through ongoing partnerships, permitting, and financing. Working with trusted Korean partners with a track record of on-time and on-budget delivery brings us closer to breaking ground and delivering urgently needed lithium and boron. We’re delighted to work with KIND and Hyundai Engineering and look forward to what we’ll accomplish together.”

  • Why Centuria Capital, Iluka, Metcash, and Reliance Worldwide shares are falling today

    A man sits in despair at his computer with his hands either side of his head, staring into the screen with a pained and anguished look on his face, in a home office setting.

    The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is fighting hard to stay in positive territory. At the time of writing, the benchmark index is up a fraction to 8,821 points.

    Four ASX shares that have failed to follow the market higher today are listed below. Here’s why they are falling:

    Centuria Capital Group (ASX: CNI)

    The Centuria Capital share price is down over 6% to $2.04. This follows the successful completion of an institutional placement and entitlement offer. Centuria Capital has raised $265 million at $2.00 per new share. This represents a discount of 8.25% to its last close price. Centuria’s joint CEOs, John McBain and Jason Huljich, commented: “The Centuria and ResetData combination has created a differentiated NVIDIA neocloud partner with scalable sovereign AI Factories and access to Centuria’s real estate, land and potential 200MW+ power pipeline. ResetData is one of three Australian NVIDIA Cloud Partners and is uniquely placed to take advantage of an upswing in international demand for the establishment of Australian-based AI Factory capacity uptake. It is worth noting that comparable neocloud platforms in Australia have experienced rapid re-ratings as contracts and scale have emerged and we have this firmly in mind as we respond to increased AI demand and build out our capability in this area.”

    Iluka Resources Ltd (ASX: ILU)

    The Iluka Resources share price is down 11% to $7.24. This is despite the mineral sands and rare earths company announcing a major offtake agreement this morning. Iluka revealed that it has signed a binding, multi-year agreement for the supply of magnet rare earth oxides to a global automotive company. The agreement sets pricing at the higher of minimum and market-linked prices for each product to balance the dual risks of downside price volatility and security of supply. Iluka advised that its minimum revenue over the contract period is US$155 million. But assuming industry forecast pricing, Iluka’s revenue over the contract period would be US$172 million.

    Metcash Ltd (ASX: MTS)

    The Metcash share price is down 3% to $3.02. This may have been driven by a broker note out of Ord Minnett this morning. The broker has downgraded the wholesale distributor’s shares to a hold rating (from buy) with a reduced price target of $3.50 (from $3.70). While Metcash’s FY 2026 result was in line with expectations, Ord Minnett was disappointed with its trading update for the first seven weeks of FY 2027.

    Reliance Worldwide Corporation Ltd (ASX: RWC)

    The Reliance Worldwide share price is down 2.5% to $3.58. Investors have been selling the plumbing parts company’s shares after it revealed that it is closing its brass casting, forging, and machining operations in Melbourne, along with additional smaller sites. This is part of its ongoing optimisation of its global manufacturing operations. Management revealed that it expects to recognise a one-off net charge of US$100 million to US$110 million in FY 2026.
