- Anthropic introduced Claude Design recently, positioning itself as a direct challenger to Figma’s platform
- Shares have plummeted nearly 80% from their post-IPO high reached in mid-2025
- Fourth-quarter revenue jumped 40.1% to $303.8M, while EPS of $0.08 surpassed expectations of -$0.20

Figma (FIG) shares retreated 8.7% during Thursday’s trading session, settling at $17.51. The design software company saw its stock dip to an intraday low of $17.70, finishing significantly beneath the prior session’s close of $19.17.
The day’s trading volume registered approximately 3.9 million shares — representing a substantial 73% decline compared to the typical session volume of 14.6 million. Such reduced liquidity often exaggerates price volatility in both directions.
The recent downward momentum stems from Anthropic’s introduction of Claude Design the previous week, an AI-driven design platform marketed as a competitor to Figma, Adobe, and Canva.
The AI Design Battleground Intensifies
Claude Design’s arrival creates fresh challenges for Figma. Artificial intelligence-powered design platforms are advancing rapidly, and investors are taking notice.
That being said, Claude Design currently appeals primarily to casual users and amateur designers rather than enterprise professionals. Figma’s established customer base — professional designers working within major corporations — remains largely committed to the platform.
Figma boasts over 13 million active users. Approximately 95% of Fortune 500 enterprises utilize its services. Such a deeply entrenched user base doesn’t migrate to alternative platforms hastily.
Nevertheless, shares have now surrendered nearly 80% of their value from the post-IPO zenith. Figma debuted publicly in mid-2025, recording the most impressive single-day performance for a U.S. company of comparable size in thirty years. The trajectory has been predominantly downward since.
The current market capitalization hovers around $7.6 billion, starkly contrasting with the optimism surrounding the initial public offering.
Financial Performance Remains Robust
Figma’s latest quarterly financial report actually demonstrated strength. The company delivered Q4 EPS of $0.08, exceeding the analyst consensus projection of -$0.20 by $0.28.
Revenue reached $303.8 million, representing 40.1% year-over-year expansion. Notably, Figma achieved $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time during 2025, with international sales advancing 45%.
The gross margin registers at 82.43% — an impressive figure for software-as-a-service operations.
The challenge isn’t revenue generation. It’s achieving profitability. Figma operates with a negative net margin of 121.87% and negative return on equity of 97.03%. Wall Street analysts project full-year EPS of -$0.69.
The P/E ratio stands at -5.51, indicating the market doesn’t currently value this as a profitable enterprise.
Executive Stock Sales Draw Scrutiny
Insider selling activity has intensified. CEO Dylan Field divested 250,000 FIG shares at $30.80 during late February, generating proceeds of $7.7 million.
General Counsel Brendan Mulligan sold 4,817 FIG shares at $26.30 during March.
Collectively, company insiders have offloaded approximately 1.06 million FIG shares valued at roughly $30.5 million throughout the past 90 days.
Insiders maintain ownership of 45.2% of outstanding shares.
Regarding analyst sentiment, the consensus recommendation stands at Hold, with a mean price target of $43.25 — representing substantial upside potential from current trading levels.
Among 15 analysts tracking the stock, four assign it a Buy rating, ten recommend Hold, and one rates it Sell.
The 50-day moving average sits at $23.84. The 200-day moving average stands at $34.23. FIG currently trades considerably below both technical indicators.
