Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

**1. Initial Overvaluation and Profit-Taking Following IPO**

Figma's stock, trading under the symbol FIG, experienced an extraordinary surge upon its public debut on July 31, 2025, with shares opening at $85 and more than tripling their IPO price on the first day, reaching an intraday high of almost $143 per share in early August. This rapid appreciation was quickly followed by a period of profit-taking by early investors and a search for equilibrium, leading to a significant pullback in August. Analysts, including J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, initiated coverage with "Neutral" or "Hold" ratings later in August, citing concerns about the company's high valuation despite acknowledging its strong product offerings and market potential. **2. Weakened Outlook and Valuation Concerns from Q2 2025 Earnings**

Figma's Q2 2025 financial results, announced on September 3, 2025, showed strong year-over-year revenue growth of 41%. However, the company's guidance for Q3 projected a slowdown in sales growth to 33% year-over-year at the midpoint. This revised outlook, suggesting a deceleration in growth, combined with the stock's already elevated price-to-sales ratio, contributed to investor disenchantment and further downward pressure on the stock as valuation concerns intensified. **3. Significant Stock-Based Compensation Leading to Net Losses**

Despite robust revenue growth, Figma reported substantial net losses during the first three quarters of 2025, exceeding $1 billion, which was a significant increase compared to the previous year. A major contributing factor to these losses was considerable stock-based compensation, totaling over $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2025, with $976 million specifically in the third quarter. This non-cash expense raised concerns among investors regarding the company's path to profitability and introduced the potential for significant stock dilution. **4. Margin Pressures Due to Aggressive AI Investments**

Figma's Q3 2025 earnings, released on November 5, 2025, revealed a contraction in its non-GAAP operating profit margin, which decreased to 12% from 24% in the prior year. This decline was largely attributed to increased cost pressures stemming from the rollout of new AI features and products, such as Figma Make, and aggressive investments in AI infrastructure. While these investments aimed to enhance the platform's capabilities and drive customer adoption, they weighed on the company's profitability and negatively impacted investor sentiment. **5. Substantial Insider Selling by CEO**

Figma's CEO, Dylan Field, executed significant insider stock sales during the specified period. Notably, on November 17, 2025, he sold 3,029,063 shares of Figma stock for a total value of approximately $113 million. Additionally, on December 15, 2025, he sold 250,000 shares for $8.665 million, among other large transactions in November and December. Such substantial insider divestment, exceeding the USD 5 million threshold, often signals a lack of confidence from leadership in the company's near-term prospects, which can lead to negative market reactions and contribute to a decline in stock price.
