360 - Life360 Inc

[Dona Ferentes]

Monthly pick.

missed it by a month and a day!!

...up nearly 40 per cent when the
ASX-listed, San Francisco-based company told investors it would place advertising on its platform, creating a major new source of revenue.

Life360 operates free and paid versions of the location-tracking app used by families to monitor everything from where their children are to how fast they are driving.

Chris Hulls, Life360’s chief executive, said the introduction of advertising targeting the app’s free users this year was a “low risk” way of generating revenue. The company has forecast a large rise over the year, from the $US304.5 million ($468 million) for the 12 months to December 31 to up to $US375 million.

“We think the monetisation of our free users could equal subscription revenue,” said Mr Hulls, one of the company’s founders. “I think it’s unlikely to be a flop. It’s more like, how big can it get? How quickly can that happen?”

....eyeball capture. How long before ...

Didn't buy any. Was going to, studied it. .. and just forgot about it. Got a shock when Alan Kohler mentioned it on the news.

Life360 has wasted no time in executing plans to dual-list on the Nasdaq, launching its initial public offering on Monday.

According to terms sent to investors by lead left bookrunner Goldman Sachs, the San Francisco-based, ASX-listed company is selling 5.75 million shares alongside an over-allotment option of 862,500 shares, also known as a “greenshoe.”

The deal, which looks to have occurred more quickly than some local fund managers had anticipated, is due to price on 05 June. Evercore and UBS are active bookrunners, and Canaccord Genuity, Citizens JMP Securities and Loop Capital Markets are co-managers.

“Life360 currently intends to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures,” the term sheet said

nice one.. this fund manager reckons it's a 10 bagger for them

"If Andrew Mitchell is right, the next 10-bagger for the Ophir Opportunities Fund is family tracking app Life360. Its shares are up nearly 150 per cent in 2024 alone to $18. The fund first acquired the stock in 2020 when it was trading at around $3.

Mitchell said the app has the potential to launch many businesses off its existing platform as the US family safety market was massive. What’s more, he liked Life360’s ultra-low cost of acquiring customers.

Life360 has announced plans to place ads in front of millions of customers who use Life360 for free, opening up a new revenue stream.

“It’s scaling very fast and the bogeyman will be Apple’s ‘Find My’ app, and whether they [Apple] invest in it.”.
.
... but .. many a bright idea has been overrun by sheer size of the big players

Here's an example of leaving your biases and prejudice at the door and simply trade what you see.

I would not have the vision to consider that a pet finding app could turn a company into a $4.7B MC monster...
Bought in after crossing the 10 day ema in Sept, will be watching as the quarterly is due in less than a month.

Life360 has soared to an all-time high of $23.75 after UBS raised the price target of its US shares to $US50 from $US35.

New York-based UBS analyst Chris Kuntarich said the lift followed strong third quarter results thanks to increased marketing activities and the potential of US TV ad campaign to bring more users.

The US share price target is based on UBS’s estimate of Life 360’s earning multiple of 36 in FY26, compared with 41 in FY25, and EBITDA of $US115 million from $US68 million in the last financial year.

Reporting tomorrow morning, I've built up a position here with some cushion but still wary of the price action, or possible PA, and stop loss areas are in accordingly.
