Can this ASX 200 tech share power higher from here?

If there's one S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) share that has captured the imagination of growth investors over the past few years, it's Life360 Inc (ASX: 360).

Once best known as a family-tracking app, the ASX 200 share has transformed into a broader digital safety and subscription-monetisation platform with growing international reach.

But with recent share price volatility, strategic pivots and evolving revenue models front of mind, investors ask: Can Life360 still climb from here?

True tech script

The price swings of the ASX 200 tech share have lived up to the tech stock script — rapid rises, sharp pullbacks and renewed rally phases. After rolling out upgraded guidance for FY2025 and a strong Q4 showing, the stock has swung significantly.

In the past 6 months Life360 has shed 31% of its value to $6.5 billion. The start of 2026 also hasn't been great with a loss of almost 15% at the time of writing. However, long-term holders are still well ahead thanks to years of growth, with the stock up well over 600% in the past 5 years.   

What do analysts think?

Analyst sentiment remains broadly positive. Trading View consensus leans toward buy with average 12-month price targets suggesting meaningful upside potential. Some forecasts show possible gains of 60% to 80% or more from the current share price of $27.42.

Bell Potter has just reiterated a buy rating on the ASX 200 tech share, setting a price target of $45.00 per share. The broker is encouraged by the company's strong growth in paying circles and expects this momentum to continue as more monthly active users convert to paid subscribers.

Bell Potter also points to Life360's potential to disrupt adjacent markets as a key upside driver. 

Digital global safety platform

The transformation of the ASX 200 stock from a simple locator app into a global subscription and digital safety platform is a core strength. The company has delivered significant user growth — with monthly active users approaching or exceeding 90 million — and growing subscription adoption. 

Expanding into higher-margin advertising via acquisitions and tech integrations — such as the Nativo deal — also offers a revenue diversification path beyond subscriptions. 

Tech growth focussed

Life360 isn't without its challenges. The ASX 200 share doesn't pay dividends, reflecting its tech-growth focus rather than an income orientation. So, it's a non-starter for dividend-seeking investors. 

Additionally, profitability has been improving, but the business model still leans on continued subscription growth and effective monetisation of non-paying users. Advertising and data monetisation strategies have clear promise, but they also attract privacy scrutiny and competitive pressure, particularly from tech giants. 

Foolish Takeaway

From a valuation and growth standpoint, Life360 still has ample fuel left in the tank. Continued subscriber expansion, international penetration, and diversification into ads and premium services create multiple levers for revenue growth. Analyst price targets and upgrades suggest there's unpriced potential if these trends continue. 

But investors should expect volatility, execution risk and no dividend income as part of ownership. The ASX 200 tech stock feels more like a growth play than a safe yield stock. It could be powerful if you believe in its expanding ecosystem, less so if you're chasing stable cash flow.
