Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Dec 18, 2025

Daily Market Reports | 12:04 PM

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes and updates for ASX-listed equities.

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely "regularly" depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena's team of journalists.

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.

360    LIFE360 INC

Software & Services - Overnight Price: $32.37

Canaccord Genuity rates ((360)) as Buy (1) -

Canaccord Genuity hosted investor meetings with Life360's CFO and investor relations, where discussions included top-of-funnel trends, the strategic logic for acquiring Nativo, and encouraging early uptake of the GPS pet tracker.

Although 3Q25 MAU (monthly active users) growth slowed and pressured sentiment, management framed this as temporary, one-off factors rather than a structural demand shift.

Overall, the broker reckons Life360 is broadening into a more diversified platform, suggesting the market may be undervaluing its durability and upside

ARU    ARAFURA RARE EARTHS LIMITED

Rare Earth Minerals - Overnight Price: $0.22

Canaccord Genuity rates ((ARU)) as Upgrade to Speculative Buy from Hold (1) -

Canaccord Genuity has removed Arafura Rare Earths from "under review" with an upgrade to Speculative Buy from Hold, and an increase in target price to 35c from 20c.

The company raised $482m at $0.28/sh for Nolans rare earths project, taking pro-forma cash to $570m and materially de-risking funding.  Hancock Prospecting lifted its stake to 15.6%.

The broker notes the company has US$775m in senior debt secured and over US$1bn total debt support, and an estimated -US$1.9bn total funding needs.

This means the equity gap is now -US$500m, expected to be met via conditional cornerstone equity, with potential upside from US EXIM debt.

Funding visibility supports a 1Q26 FID, with the project development-ready and a 3-year build targeting commissioning in late 2029, the broker highlights.
