Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, its analysts have reiterated their buy rating on this location technology company's shares with an improved price target of $14.20. Goldman was very impressed with Life360's FY 2023 results and continues to believe that its subscription business is undervalued. As a result, the broker sees potential advertising revenue upside as effectively a free option. The Life360 share price is trading at $12.35 today.

Neuren Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: NEU)

A note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $27.00 price target on this pharmaceutical company's shares. The broker was pleased with Neuren's sales update and expectations for calendar year 2024. Bell Potter estimates that its Daybue product will generate A$1 billion in licensing income over the next 6 years. The Neuren share price is fetching $19.77 on Monday.

South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)

Analysts at Macquarie have upgraded this mining giant's shares to an outperform rating with an improved price target of $3.40. This follows news that the company has agreed to sell its Illawarra metallurgical operation. It is supportive of the sale and highlights that the company will be left with a focus on aluminium and base metals. These are areas which it believes have favourable outlooks. The South32 share price is trading at $2.97 this afternoon.
