1. Citigroup Downgrades Rating on Life360
Citigroup analysts lowered their assessment of Life360 from “Market Outperform” to “Perform,” citing concerns about decelerating subscriber growth and increased competition in the family safety app market. The revision follows a review of recent user metrics and revenue guidance, and reflects the firm’s view that Life360 may face pressure on average revenue per user as it invests to retain market share against rival services.
