Life360 Inc (ASX: 360) shares have crashed 16% in early morning trade on Tuesday.

At the time of writing, the shares are changing hands for $24.70 a piece. Today's drop means the shares are now down around 24% for the year to date and are roughly down 35% from trading levels seen this time last year.

Today's tumble comes off the back of the company's second-quarter FY26 update, that it posted on the ASX ahead of the market open this morning.

Life360 recorded a 38% increase in revenue, to US$159 million, and a 53% increase in adjusted EBITDA, to US$31.1 million.

Global monthly active users increased by 4.6 million in the quarter, bringing the total to approximately 102.4 million – up 16% compared to the previous year.

But, Life360 also revealed that the company ended the quarter with US$467.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. Its operating expenses were 43% higher compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to company growth and costs around its Nativo acquisition. 

Looking ahead, Life360 still expects FY26 revenue growth to accelerate around 33 to 40% year on year to between US$650 million and US$685 million. Adjusted EBITDA is also still expected to be between US$130 million to US$140 million.

Clearly, investors aren't too thrilled with the result. And it looks like many expected another uplift in FY26 revenue guidance.

I'm expecting to see broker and analyst outlook updates in the coming days. But let's find out what the experts forecast from Life360 right now. Is this a temporary crash? Or is it possible that the shares rebound again?
