Four ASX shares that have not let that hold them back are listed below. Here's why they are charging higher:
Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)
The Life360 share price is up 6% to $10.48. Investors have been buying the mobile app maker's shares following the release of another impressive quarterly update. During the third quarter, Life360 delivered underlying revenue growth (excluding Jiobit) of 45% year-on-year to US$29.3 million. In addition, Life360's Annualised Monthly Revenue (AMR) (excluding Jiobit) grew 48% year on year to US$120.1 million. In light of this strong form, management upgraded its guidance for FY 2021.
Nitro Software Ltd (ASX: NTO)
The Nitro share price is up 2% to $3.63. This follows the release of the document productivity software company's third quarter update. Management revealed that its annual recurring revenue (ARR) was up 50% year-on-year. In addition, its transition to a software-as-a-service business model is gathering momentum. Subscription revenue now represents 68% of total revenue compared to 56% a year ago. As with Life360, this strong quarter led to management upgrading its full year guidance.
Reliance Worldwide Corporation Ltd (ASX: RWC)
The Reliance Worldwide share price is up 5% to $5.45. The catalyst for this appears to have been the release of a broker note out of Macquarie this morning. According to the note, the broker has upgraded the plumbing parts company's shares to an outperform rating with a $5.95 price target. This follows the announcement of a key acquisition on Tuesday.
Uniti Group Ltd (ASX: UWL)
The Uniti share price is up 5% to $4.17. This morning the telco revealed that it will undertake a share buyback. This is despite the company's shares trading within sight of their record high. The release notes that the buy-back will be within the 10/12 limit permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. As such, shareholder approval is not required.
