Shares of design software provider Figma (FIG) surged approximately 12% Thursday following the company’s robust first-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations on both profit and revenue metrics.
The equity advanced nearly 7% during standard market hours before gaining additional ground in extended trading, finishing the after-hours session at $19.97. This upward movement represents a notable recovery after FIG had shed roughly half its market value earlier in the year.
For the quarter ending March 2026, Figma delivered adjusted earnings of $0.10 per share, significantly outpacing the Street’s $0.06 projection. The company’s top line totaled $333.4 million, representing 46% year-over-year expansion and surpassing the consensus forecast of $316 million.
The 46% expansion rate marks an improvement from recent trends. Figma recorded 40% growth during the fourth quarter of 2025, establishing a pattern of sequential acceleration across the past two reporting periods.
Gross profit for the period totaled $275 million, translating to an 82% gross margin. Non-GAAP operating profit registered $52 million, representing a 16% operating margin. The company generated $89 million in free cash flow.
The paying customer count expanded 54% year-over-year to 690,000. Conversions from free Pro team accounts to paid subscriptions jumped 150%, primarily fueled by enthusiasm for AI-powered features.
Revenue from international markets increased 48%, which management highlighted as a significant factor in the quarter’s overall strength.
Net dollar retention climbed to 139%, representing the company’s best showing in over two years. This indicator measures how much revenue the company generates from its existing customer base over time.
AI Products Driving Demand
Figma has embraced artificial intelligence as a growth driver rather than treating it as a threat. The company’s Figma Make platform, which converts prompts and code into functional design workflows, has gained significant traction among enterprise clients.
The company has established partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Alphabet to embed generative AI capabilities throughout its product suite. Management attributed the quarter’s outperformance to “stronger-than-expected seat expansion” combined with robust adoption of AI-enhanced products.
Guidance Raised
Looking ahead to Q2 2026, Figma projects revenue between $348 million and $350 million, comfortably above Wall Street’s consensus estimate of approximately $330 million.
The company elevated its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $1.422 billion to $1.428 billion, suggesting approximately 35% growth at the midpoint. This represents a $55 million upward revision from previous projections.
Full-year non-GAAP operating income expectations were also increased to between $125 million and $135 million.
Notwithstanding the post-earnings surge, at least one market analyst suggested the shares may be trading above reasonable fair value estimates. FIG currently trades at a Price/Book ratio of 6.61 with an approximate market capitalization of $10 billion.
The stock’s 52-week trading range spans from $16.60 to $142.92, illustrating the significant volatility that software stocks have experienced throughout the past year.
