Figma IPO surge 'can't be the new norm' on Wall Street, Jim Cramer says
CNBC's Jim Cramer reviewed Thursday's market action and said that Figma's initial public offering overshadowed strong earnings results from tech giants Meta and Microsoft, warning that the design software company's opening pop is a sign of froth. "You have to hope that Figma's a one-and-done bout of enthusiasm. It just can't be the norm," he said. "And as someone who brought a company public during the heyday of 1999, I know what I'm talking about…We don't want to go back to the bubble territory." Figma shares more than tripled during its market debut and continued to soar in extended trading. Initially priced at $33, the stock finished the day up 250% to hit $115.50. Figma's software helps create interfaces for website and applications, and its customer base includes Google, Microsoft, Netflix and Uber. Cramer said there is an issue with Figma stock, not Figma the company. The software designer turns a profit, is growing fast and has a great product, he said. But the price of the stock is "wildly inflated" because it doesn't make enough money. He pointed out that Figma's price-to-sales ratio is much higher than that of both Meta and Microsoft, two of the largest companies in the world. Cramer wondered if Thursday marked a new phase of the bull market, one of "ludicrous valuations," but indicated he hoped that was not the case. It's better that Wall Street focus on quarterly results, Cramer continued. "At the end of the day, I hope we can go back to focusing on earnings rather than getting more IPOs like Figma," Cramer said. "We got to put this genie back in the bottle." Figma did not immediately respond to request for comment.

FICO CEO defends credit score pricing amid FHFA criticism, says cost isn't blocking home ownership
In a Thursday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Fair Isaac CEO Will Lansing pushed back against recent criticism of his company, saying FICO credit score pricing isn't an issue for home owners. "We have been accused of raising our prices, and it's true, we have, but they're still very, very small relative to what we offer," Lansing said. "We charge $4.95 for a mortgage score out of $6,000 in closing costs. So it's not the cost of a FICO score that' problems for home ownership." In May, Bill Pulte, the newly-appointed head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, chastised Fair Isaac for its price hikes. Pulte later announced that mortgage lenders can now choose to use a traditional FICO score or one from rival VantageScore to evaluate borrowers. Previously, mortgage lenders selling loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — government-sponsored enterprises that back the majority of residential mortgages in the U.S. — were only allowed to use FICO scores. Pulte later went on to disparage Fair Isaac as a "monopoly who has ripped off Americans for decades." FICO said in a statement that the new policy "introduces a dangerous precedent that increases adverse selection risk" and "inexplicably favors a less predictive credit score that will undermine the safety and soundness of the enterprises and their counterparties." Lansing reiterated his company's statement, telling Cramer "there's all kinds of safety and soundness concerns" with the FHFA's actions. According to Lansing, Fair Isaac has been competing with Vantage for 15 years and "we always win," touting the widespread use of the traditional FICO model. He also said Fair Isaac's new credit score model, FICO 10T, outperforms the classic model and that of VantageScore. "We have over 90% market share in all these other markets that have nothing to do with the government," Lansing said. "And then within the mortgage market, in the non-conforming market where there's no government mandate, FICO is the clear industry standard."
