So, if I bought $10,000 worth of Life360 shares at the beginning of March, what are they worth now?
It's been a turbulent start to the month for Life360 shares.
The stock crashed 18% on Tuesday last week after it posted its FY25 financial results.
The company delivered record growth in both its subscription and international segments, by 33% and 26% year-on-year, respectively. Life360 also said that it expects strong growth to continue in FY26.
The news sent investors flocking to the stock, with the share price spiking 15% in early-morning trade shortly after the announcement. But then the share price took a significant U-turn, ending the day down 18%.
This week, the share price took another turn, jumping over 10% on Tuesday.
There has been no price-sensitive news out of the company following its results announcement, so the zig-zagging share price is likely due to investors taking their gains off the table and then buying back into the stock after the dust had settled.
It has been difficult to keep track of Life360 shares over the past couple of weeks. But yesterday's 4.84% drop means the stock is now 12.82% lower than at the beginning of March.
That means that $10,000 invested in Life360 shares at the start of March has already lost value, now worth just $8,718.
Meanwhile, $10,000 invested in Life360 shares this time last year would now be worth $10,019.
Should investors sell up before losses worsen?
Analysts don't think so. In fact, it looks like the current share price could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy into Life360 shares cheaply. Because if analyst predictions are correct, the tech stock could soar higher this year.
TradingView data shows that most analysts are extremely bullish on Life360's shares over the next 12 months.
Out of 15 analysts, 12 have a buy or strong buy rating, and three have a hold rating on the stock.
The average target price for Life360 shares is $39.82, implying a huge potential 85.9% upside at the time of writing. But some are even more bullish, expecting the stock to rocket 137.81% to $50.94 apiece over the next 12 months.
With these types of returns, $10,000 invested at the start of March could be worth up to $23,781 by this time next year.
