Figma Trades Near $33 IPO Level after 75% Decline, Rolls Out Figma Make, Sites, Buzz
Figma’s shares trade near $33 IPO level after a 75% decline from a $142.92 peak, valuing the company at about $18.5 billion versus Adobe’s $20 billion takeover price. In Q3, revenue rose 38% to $274.2 million with $34 million operating income while AI investments in Figma Make, Sites, Buzz and Weavy acquisition underpin growth.
1. Trading Near IPO Levels and Below Adobe’s Valuation
Since its July 2023 debut at $33 per share, Figma’s stock surged to $142.92 before retreating nearly 75% to trade just above its IPO price. This decline has pushed its market capitalization down to approximately $18.5 billion—below the $20 billion price Adobe agreed to pay in 2022 before regulators blocked the deal. Given that Figma was smaller and operating without a public AI narrative at that time, the Adobe offer serves as a valuation floor and underscores the current upside potential for long-term investors.
2. Strong Financial Performance Underpins Valuation
In the third quarter, Figma delivered 38% year-over-year revenue growth to $274.2 million and reported adjusted operating income of $34 million. Even after accounting for a one-time non-cash IPO expense that inflated GAAP losses, the company remains profitable on a GAAP basis over the long term. With roughly $1.5 billion in cash and marketable securities on the balance sheet, Figma trades at about 15 times run-rate price-to-sales—an attractive multiple compared to peers, especially given its 85.7% gross margin and history of consistent profitability.
3. Strategic AI Investments Drive Future Growth
Figma has aggressively expanded its AI capabilities, recognizing UX/UI design as a prime use case for generative tools. In 2025 the company launched Figma Make, a prompt-to-app code generator; Figma Sites, which publishes responsive websites directly from design files; and Figma Buzz, an AI assistant for brand and marketing teams. Although management cautioned that AI development would pressure near-term margins, these investments position Figma to capitalize on the broader AI software tipping point and to extend its lead in collaborative design platforms.
4. Acquisition of Weavy Enhances AI-Powered Collaboration
In mid-2025 Figma acquired Weavy, an AI-driven interface startup, and rebranded it as Figma Weave. Weave integrates digital editing, real-time collaboration and generative design suggestions into a single workspace. By embedding Weave’s technology, Figma can offer designers and developers seamless end-to-end workflows that combine drag-and-drop components with AI-powered code generation—strengthening customer lock-in and accelerating time-to-market for web and application design projects.
