Key points
  • Life360 shares have come under selling pressure since reaching an all-time high in October, although they have still grown significantly over the past 12 months and five years.
  • Although investor concerns exist regarding the US$120 million purchase of Nativo amidst sector shifts, Life360's business fundamentals remain strong, reflected in impressive revenue and profit growth.
  • Despite current share price volatility, analysts recommend holding due to Life360's robust growth potential and strategic expansion.

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

Shares in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) tech stock closed yesterday trading for $38.31. In early afternoon trade on Wednesday, shares are swapping hands for $37.54 apiece, down 2%.

Are Life360 shares a good buy today?

Medallion Financial Group's Stuart Bromley recently ran his slide rule over the ASX 200 tech share (courtesy of The Bull).

"Life360 is the leading family safety and location sharing platform across the US, UK and Australia," Bromley said. "It operates a capital-light, highly scalable subscription model with growing ad partnerships."

According to Bromley:

Despite recent share price weakness tied to investor concerns about its US$120 million acquisition of Nativo amid a rotation out of technology stocks into defensive companies, the business fundamentals of Life360 remain strong.

Revenue is growing at an impressive pace, subscriber numbers continue to accelerate, and management has upgraded full year guidance.

Indeed, at its third-quarter results (Q3 2025), the company reported a 34% year-on-year increase in revenue for the three months to US$124.5 million. On the bottom line, net profit of US$9.8 million was up more than 27% from Q3 2024.

Despite these strong metrics, Bromley isn't quite ready to pull the buy trigger on Life360 shares just yet, issuing a hold recommendation.

"We view current share price levels as an attractive opportunity to at least hold or accumulate a quality growth business with a long runway ahead," he concluded.

What's happening with the ASX 200 tech share's Nativo acquisition?

Life360 shares closed down 5.2% on 11 November, and tumbled another 13.1% the following day, with some investors selling the ASX share following news that the company had inked an agreement to acquire advertising technology company Nativo for US$120 million.

However, Life360 CEO Lauren Antonoff expects the acquisition to boost the company's performance over time.

Commenting on the Nativo acquisition on the day, Antonoff said:

Acquiring Nativo is an exciting step forward as we build a durable, mission-aligned advertising business. This acquisition accelerates our roadmap, adding capabilities that typically take platforms years to develop.

It allows us to scale faster and bring high-quality, contextual advertising to market sooner, all while enhancing, not disrupting, the Life360 member experience.
