Growth Beat Expectations, But So Did the Costs
Figma (FIG) delivered one of the strongest revenue prints in software this quarter, and shares still fell sharply. Revenue rose 48% to $370.1 million, comfortably beating the $351.6 million analysts expected, and non-GAAP EPS came in at 8 cents versus an expected 4 cents. On paper, that looks like an unambiguous win.
The complication is what it cost to get there. This was Figma’s first full quarter of monetizing AI credits, with customers purchasing packages beyond standard seat pricing. CEO Dylan Field said companies are “doubling down on Figma” as they adapt workflows for AI. He cited accelerating third-quarter growth as evidence the strategy is working.
But funding that AI push is expensive. Research and development spending more than doubled to $167.3 million, and total operating expenses nearly doubled to $426.9 million. The result was a $117.3 million GAAP operating loss, a sharp reversal from $2.1 million in operating income a year earlier. Non-GAAP operating margin fell to 10% from 16% sequentially, and free-cash-flow margin compressed to 14% from 24%.
Figma raised its full-year revenue outlook by $40 million to $1.463 billion–$1.467 billion, implying 39% growth at midpoint. Investors need AI credit revenue to scale quickly enough to offset inference costs weighing on margins.
Is Figma Undervalued After a 67% Drawdown?
Under valuation model assumptions realized through 12/31/28, the stock is modeled using:
- Revenue Growth (CAGR): 8.0%
- Operating Margins: 11.4%
- Exit P/E Multiple: 95.2x
Based on these inputs, the model estimates a target price of $32, implying 22.6% upside from the current share price and a 9.0% annualized return over the next 2.4 years.
Figma trades roughly 67% below its 52-week high of $78, and the valuation model’s growth assumptions look conservative next to the 48% revenue growth the company just posted. That gap between the model’s 8.0% forecast CAGR and Figma’s actual growth rate suggests the market, and this model, are both pricing in significant deceleration.
The bigger question is not growth but path to profitability. Figma’s LTM EBIT margin currently sits at negative 123.7%, driven by heavy AI infrastructure investment and beta products that are not yet generating paid credits. Management has been explicit that new SKUs like Figma Make primarily expand usage within existing large customers rather than adding logos, which supports durability but not immediate margin relief.
For long-term investors, the case rests on whether AI consumption revenue scales the way seat-based pricing once did. Net dollar retention of 136% suggests existing customers are already spending more, which is an encouraging early signal even amid the margin pressure.

Figma Versus Adobe: Growth Versus Profitability
The clearest comparison for Figma is Adobe (ADBE), its largest and most established rival in design software. Adobe grew Q2 revenue just 13% year over year, less than a third of Figma’s 48% pace, but Adobe’s GAAP operating margin sits near 35%, compared with Figma’s negative 123.7% LTM EBIT margin. That is the tradeoff investors are weighing directly.
Adobe is also chasing AI monetization, with AI-first annual recurring revenue tripling year over year to more than $500 million, but that remains a small fraction of Adobe’s roughly $27.1 billion total ARR base. Figma’s AI credit business is smaller in absolute terms but represents a much larger share of its growth story going forward.
Canva, Figma’s largest private competitor, does not disclose public financials, but it continues to compete aggressively on price and ease of use in the same design workflow market. Figma’s public listing gives investors visibility that Canva does not, which is part of why FIG’s margin trajectory gets so much scrutiny each quarter.
What’s Driving FIG Stock Going Forward?
The most direct catalyst is whether AI credit monetization keeps accelerating into the third quarter, as management indicated on the call. Figma has said its beta products are not yet included in guidance, which means any of them converting to paid credits would represent clean upside to current estimates.
Product expansion is also a factor to watch. Tools like Figma Agent and Code Layers are designed to widen the surface area for AI consumption beyond design work into code generation, a market where Figma is competing more directly with developer tools than with traditional design software.
Margin trajectory remains the biggest swing factor. CFO Praveer Melwani has said the company is investing in first-party AI models trained on Figma’s own design data, aiming to lower inference costs over time without sacrificing quality. If that effort succeeds, gross margin could recover faster than the market currently expects.
The next earnings report will be the key test of whether the AI credit ramp can keep pace with the infrastructure spending it requires.
