0052 GMT - Life360's bull at Citi sees a number of positives from its latest quarterly update despite the disappointing lack of an earnings guidance upgrade. Analyst Siraj Ahmed flags strong growth in paying subscribers, a pickup in international user growth, a better-than-expected Ebitda margin, and U.S. price rises linked to the location-app developer's launch of its pet tracker product. However, June-quarter advertising gross margin fell short of Ahmed's forecast. He tells clients in a note that Life360's unchanged Ebitda guidance means that its 3Q earnings could miss consensus by a distance. Citi has a last-published buy rating on Life360's U.S.-listed stock. Its ASX-listed stock is down 14% at 25.38 Australian dollars.
