The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) closed 0.52% lower on Tuesday after weakness in energy and banking stocks dragged potential gains.
But tech shares travelled in the other direction, driven by anticipated rate cuts. At the close on Tuesday, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) is 0.41% higher. It was up 14.31% for the year.
One tech stock which has attracted a lot of attention this week is Life360 Inc (ASX: 360). The tech stock closed 2.76% higher on Tuesday, at $49.85 a piece.
Over the past 3 months, Life360 shares have jumped 32.21% higher and over the past 6 months the stock has increased in value by a whopping 117.39%. Since this time last year the share price has roared higher by an enormous 169.69%.
Life 360's roaring success is also evident in its impressive annual results. In its FY25 results, posted in mid-August, the company revealed a 36% year-on-year surge in revenue, and its EBITDA rocketed 85%. Its share price lifted 13.7% within two days of the report.
It's clear that Life360 presents a great success story. But, what can we expect next from the United States-based software development company? And what will its share price be worth in 2026?
What's the outlook for Life360?
According to Life360's Q2 2025 results released in August 2025, the company reached 88 million monthly active users (MAUs), up 25% year-on-year, and 2.5 million paying circles (subscribers).
The company experienced significant year-on-year growth, with MAUs increasing by 25% and paying circles growing by 25%.
And it looks like a new 'Anxiety Economy' trend could continue to boost the company's popularity, and therefore its share price, even further.
"We're seeing the rise of what we call the Anxiety Economy—a shift where families are making more values-based decisions and prioritizing peace of mind in how they spend. That's driving sustained demand for services like ours that help people feel safer, more connected, and in control," Life360 chief executive officer Lauren Antonoff said.
Alongside strong subscription growth, we're expanding our high-margin advertising platform with new location-based formats that enhance value without compromising the member experience. At the core of it all is trust—Life360 has become a daily essential for millions of families, and we're committed to deepening that relationship as we scale.
The company is also focused on expanding its offering. It is set to introduce pet tracking features this year, followed by an elderly-focused solution in 2026—both of which could open up new revenue streams.
Life360's share price in 2026
Overall, analysts are mostly positive on Life360 shares. But there is concern that such strong annual growth over the past 12 months leaves little room for more upside in 2026.
According to TradingView data, 8 out of 9 analysts have a strong buy or buy rating on Life360 shares. They also have a maximum target price of $51.38.
This represents a potential upside of 3.07% over the next year. It means that $20,000 invested in the stock today could be worth around $20,614 in 2026.
It's a far cry from the surging stock price we've seen in 2025, but it is still a decent return for investors.
