On August 27, Figma rose 5.66% in regular trading, trading at $29.05/share, with turnover of $118 million. The rally was driven by Bank of America's analyst team raising Figma's target price from $30 to $33 while maintaining a Buy rating.
BofA cited expanding valuation multiples across the software industry and receding market concerns about AI disrupting traditional software companies as key reasons for the upgrade. The firm simultaneously raised target prices on 10 software stocks including ServiceNow, Snowflake, and Adobe. Figma's Q2 earnings previously showed revenue surging 48% year-over-year to $370.1 million, beating the consensus estimate of $351.6 million, with the company also raising full-year revenue guidance to $1.463-$1.467 billion versus analyst expectations of $1.44 billion.
However, heavy AI investment led to a GAAP operating loss widening to $117 million and free cash flow margin declining from 24% to 14% year-over-year, which had pressured shares following the earnings release. The current rebound reflects the market repricing Figma's growth trajectory as profitability concerns ease at the sector level.
