Why is the Life360 share price shooting higher?

The catalyst for the rise in the Life360 share price on Wednesday has been a rebound in the tech sector. For example, in early afternoon trade, the S&P ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX) is up a sizeable 3.2%.

The gains have been strongest among loss-making tech shares, which were hit the hardest following the tech selloff earlier this year.

One leading broker that would approve of the Life360 buying frenzy today is Bell Potter. Earlier this month, the broker named the company as one of its top three picks in the tech sector.

It commented: "Life360 (360): Also remains a key pick and we believe has been oversold as, despite currently being loss making, has ample cash to fund it through to cash flow breakeven or positive in 2023 or 2024 while maintaining strong top line revenue growth and realising the synergy benefits from the recent Tile acquisition."

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $10.00 price target on its shares.
