My Take
Figma proved it can deliver profitable growth and expand its product footprint aggressively. But with revenue just under consensus and margins squeezed, the debut quarter didn’t clear the high bar set by its IPO hype. The story now hinges on whether AI products (Make, Buzz) and enterprise seat expansion can sustain momentum as lock-up expirations loom.
-
Consensus Reset: Street will likely nudge FY25 numbers up slightly given raised guidance.
-
Sentiment: Neutral to Bearish — execution was solid, but valuation + technical lock-up pressure outweigh the fundamentals tonight.
Insider shares still locked up
- Early release: 25% of employee-held shares eligible Sept 5, 2025.
- Extended lock-up: 54% of shares locked through Aug 2026, with staged releases in 2026
Having shares locked up into next year creates near term pressure.

Guidance Update
Guidance was stronger than consensus, but with FIG already trading at ~200× earnings, the Street demanded more upside. But more color in the conference call could get the stock moving higher.
Guide (Period) | Company Guide | Street | Direction |
---|---|---|---|
Q3 2025 Rev | $263M–$265M | $262M | Raised |
FY25 Rev | $1.021B–$1.025B | $1.01B | Raised |
FY25 Non-GAAP Op Income | $88M–$98M | ~$85M est. | Raised |
Management Commentary
“We delivered record revenue in Q2 as we continued to innovate with the launch of four new products. Looking ahead, we’re excited to keep building for our customers and help define the next era of digital products and experiences.” — Dylan Field, CEO
Management emphasized innovation and product expansion (Figma Make, Draw, Sites, Buzz) as drivers of platform stickiness, but avoided directly addressing valuation pressures or lock-up overhang.
Earnings Are In and Stock Tumbles
Earnings are in and the stock immediately dropped 6.9%.
Metric | Actual | Consensus | Beat/Miss |
---|---|---|---|
Revenue | $249.6M | $250.0M | ![]() |
Non-GAAP Net Income | $19.8M | ~$22M implied | ![]() |
GAAP Net Income | $28.2M | N/A | — |
Net Dollar Retention | 129% | N/A | — |
Despite delivering 41% YoY growth and staying profitable on a non-GAAP basis, the tiny revenue miss and modest margins weren’t enough to satisfy lofty expectations. Shares are selling off as investors weigh the debut hype against execution and upcoming lock-up expirations.
BofA Still Sees Plenty of Upside
BofA Securities initiated coverage of Figma (FIG) with a Neutral rating and an $85 price target, citing its strong positioning in the $36 billion digital design industry. They highlighted Figma’s 13 million monthly active users, 450,000 paid customers, expansive product suite (whiteboarding, development, website, vector, social), strong collaboration features, and nascent generative AI tools as key competitive advantages. However, they cautioned that the stock already trades above fair value, suggesting limited near-term upside.
Figma (NYSE: FIG) will report its first quarterly results as a public company after the close today. The design software firm became one of the year’s hottest IPOs, surging 250% on its debut and peaking near $143 — more than 4× its IPO price of $33. But reality has cooled the hype: shares now hover near $65, and analysts are split on whether the stock can grow into its sky-high valuation.
Wall Street expects Q2 revenue of $250M, up 40% YoY, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.09, flipping from a loss in Q2 2024. That kind of profitable growth is rare among fresh IPOs — but with FIG trading at ~200× this year’s earnings, expectations are high, and patience may be thin.
What to Expect When Figma Reports
Metric | Q2 FY25 (Jul 2025) | FY2025 (CY) | FY2026 (CY) |
---|---|---|---|
EPS (Normalized) | $0.09 | $0.29 | $0.21 |
Revenue | $250.0M | $1.01B | $1.24B |
Revenue YoY Growth | +40% | N/A | +22.2% |
Key Areas to Watch
1. Gross Margins and Operating Leverage
Figma is entering public life with profitability — rare for PLG IPOs. Investors will scrutinize gross margin and opex leverage for signals that this is sustainable, not just a launch-year artifact.
2. AI Product Strategy (Figma Make)
Figma is developing its own generative AI tools like Figma Make, a prototype builder. Analysts are split: some worry AI could automate UI/UX design and hurt demand, while others see it as a catalyst.
3. Seat Expansion and Enterprise Penetration
Figma’s success hinges on land-and-expand motions inside large orgs. Early commentary on net revenue retention, paid seat growth, and new verticals (e.g., DevMode, FigJam) will be watched closely.
4. Valuation vs. Peers (Adobe, Atlassian)
At ~200× earnings, FIG trades at a massive premium to Adobe (~17×). Any softness in growth could trigger a harsh reaction, but just having a high multiple is not a reason of concern for a young growth company.
5. Analyst Sentiment & Buy Ratings
Only 4 of 11 analysts rate FIG a Buy, despite the growth. Multiple neutral initiations suggest institutional caution is rising. A strong beat/raise could flip sentiment.
