Fact or Fiction: Figma, the Stock Market's Latest Monster IPO, Is Overvalued
Key Points After upsizing its IPO, Figma's stock more than tripled on day one. The design and coding company also has artificial intelligence potential. The company's products and services are used by a significant number of Fortune 500 companies. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › In late 2022 and into 2023, Adobe tried to remove a key competitor from its landscape by acquiring the innovative design and coding company Figma (NYSE: FIG) for $20 billion. The deal would ultimately fall apart, and today, most Figma's shareholders are likely thankful it did. Figma went public on Aug. 1, and its stock price more than tripled, quickly catapulting to a more than $59 billion market cap, due to insatiable demand from investors. Large IPOs have seen success this year, as the market has begun to thaw after a few difficult years. While Figma is certainly a very promising company and the stock has begun pulling back to a market cap of $44 billion, it's still valued for more than twice as Adobe's offer. Does Figma truly deserve this monstrous valuation? The right ingredients to make a big splash As I mentioned above, large IPOs like CoreWeave and Circle have performed tremendously well. It could perhaps be due to a lack of IPOs in recent years or exuberance around the crypto and artificial intelligence sectors. IPOs that can show big growth and some semblance of profitability have been met with high praise and excitement. And that's exactly what Figma offered. Between the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2025, Figma generated average quarterly revenue growth of 10%. In the second quarter of 2025, Figma grew revenue 41% year over year, and is now on pace for $1 billion in annual revenue. The company also achieved decent profitability in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. In its preliminary second-quarter results, management projected $9 million to $12 million in operating profits. At Figma's initial projected valuation of $13.6 billion to $16.5 billion, that didn't look so bad in today's environment. Plus, Figma has an AI angle. The company is essentially the Google Sheets of design and user interface, allowing designers and coders to collaboratively build an array of projects with high-quality graphics. In 2023, Figma released Dev Mode, which easily translates designs into code. Other AI features on Figma include the ability to automate many tasks and First Draft, an AI tool that allows users to transition from a blank canvas to user interfaces that can be edited with a simple prompt. Figma already counts 95% of Fortune 500 companies as clients. Management also sees huge potential to incorporate more AI tools and capture business from the 1 billion new applications that are expected to be made by 2028. Fact or Fiction: Figma should trade close to a $60 billion market cap? At this valuation, Figma trades somewhere in the range of over 44 times 2025 revenue, assuming the company keeps growing quarterly revenue at a 10% rate. That is an extremely expensive valuation. If investors do view Figma as an AI play or a monopoly in the space, that could lead to a higher premium valuation. However, there's no certainty that Figma will hold this position forever because AI is clearly going to have a big use-case in design and coding. After all, OpenAI's ChatGPT already demonstrated some pretty impressive capabilities in this regard. Recently on CNBC, Figma co-founder and CEO Dylan Field said that superintelligence is not likely to replace Figma's graphics engine or technology. "I think that's not stuff that you can learn from looking at code and sort of various places on the internet," said Field. "It's not part of the pretraining data mix. I believe that doing that at scale -- it's quite difficult." However, it's really tough to know how far AI and superintelligence can go. Figma will also likely need to invest heavily in AI. I certainly think Figma has strong potential, and I did expect the stock to jump out of the gate. But at this kind of valuation, the stock has run too far, too fast. The risk-reward proposition is no longer favorable, which is why I think investors should wait for dips before buying.

Buy Or Fear Figma Stock At $78?
Figma's IPO (NYSE:FIG) was one of the hottest tech debuts in recent years, with its stock surging by more than 3x its issue price on its first trading day when it listed last week. However, the stock has declined by close to 40% over the last five days to about $78 currently. At its current level, the browser-based design and product development platform is valued at more than $38 billion. Part of the early frenzy was likely driven by IPO scarcity, as the market has seen few large-cap tech listings in recent years and there's also been heightened enthusiasm for companies linked to artificial intelligence. So, is the recent sell off an opportunity to pick up stock in a company that is growing rapidly, expanding margins, and building a loyal customer base, or does the valuation still look too optimistic? Let's quickly look at some numbers. Trading at over 40x estimated 2025 run-rate revenue even post sell off, Figma's valuation is well above that of mature peers like Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE), which trades at around 7.5x forward sales. See how Adobe's valuation ratios compare with peers. While this premium reflects its faster growth of roughly 40% compared to Adobe's 9% and efficient expansion, it also leaves little room for error. Snowflake, another high-growth SaaS peer, trades at about 15x forward revenue with projected growth of 25% this year, indicating that Figma may be a bit expensive even after the correction. Figma's Solid Performance The company's recent results underscore its rapid growth and improving profitability. Figma posted revenue of $228.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, up 46% year-over-year, implying a $913 million annual revenue run rate. Profitability has also arrived earlier than many SaaS peers, with net income of $44.9 million last quarter. For 2024, adjusted operating margins stood at 17% and free cash flow margins at 24%. Net Dollar Retention of 132% is top-notch, placing Figma in the top quartile of SaaS companies, and signals that customers are not only staying but expanding their spend. Figma's seat-based pricing - tailored for designers, developers, or viewers - benefits from a product-led growth strategy where adoption often begins with a single designer and spreads organically across teams. This lowers acquisition costs and shortens the sales cycle. The company also maintains a balanced cost structure, with R&D spend nearly equal to sales and marketing, indicating a disciplined focus on product innovation rather than heavy-handed selling. This stands in contrast to many early-stage SaaS players who prioritize aggressive enterprise sales over product-led adoption. Outlook and Risks While Figma was originally designed for web and mobile interface teams, it has been steadily repositioning itself as a broader collaboration hub. Recent moves into presentations, no-code web development, and cross-functional project tools suggest that the company wants to become a workplace staple rather than just a niche design solution. See Key risks for Figma stock Still, that ambition comes with growing competitive pressures. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is embedding design capabilities into Office 365, Canva is pushing further upmarket, and AI-native tools from players such as OpenAI could reshape workflows in both design and coding. Figma's enterprise footprint is also still developing, with only 1,031 customers generating more than $100,000 in annual revenue. Figma's long-term investment case hinges on its ability to broaden adoption beyond its core design audience while turning the generative AI wave into a catalyst for growth rather than a competitive threat. Yes, the stock is still richly priced, but quality growth stories like Figma rarely trade cheap. It's hard to say with certainty if more attractive buying opportunities will emerge. One such potential opportunity could come when Figma's post-IPO lock-up expires in January 2026, at which point a large number of shares may hit the market, potentially creating fresh pressure on the stock price. While Figma stock has corrected considerably, investing in individual stocks can be risky. As an alternative, the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to produce strong returns for investors. Why is that? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid- and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks provided a responsive way to make the most of upbeat market conditions while limiting losses when markets head south, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics.
