Shares of Life360 Inc. (LIF) suffered a sharp 19.52% plunge over the past 24 hours, as investors reacted negatively to the company's latest earnings report. While the location-sharing platform delivered strong revenue growth and user metrics for the second quarter, a year-over-year decline in GAAP net income and, more critically, the absence of an upgrade to its full-year earnings guidance triggered a significant sell-off.
The company reported Q2 revenue of $159 million, up 38% from the prior year and ahead of analyst estimates of $156.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA also beat expectations, coming in at $31.1 million. However, GAAP net income fell 28% to $5.06 million, a factor that weighed on sentiment. According to a Jefferies analyst, the stock had been on a strong run heading into the results, and investors may have been anticipating an upgrade to the full-year earnings outlook. The company's maintained revenue guidance of $650 million to $685 million, while improved relative to prior consensus, seemingly failed to meet heightened market expectations.
Despite the negative price reaction, the company showcased robust operational momentum, including a 16% increase in monthly active users to 102.4 million and a 27% jump in paying circles. The ongoing user growth underpins the company's long-term narrative, but for the session, the earnings disappointment proved too heavy a weight for the stock to carry.
