Figma stock is sinking despite solid Q2 results

Figma reported non-GAAP (adjusted) net income of $19.8 million on revenue of $249.6 million in Q2. The company’s net profit was roughly in line with Wall Street’s target, and sales for the period topped the average analyst estimate’s call for sales of $248.8 million.

Figma had already published preliminary results for the quarter, so the performance for the period was in line with the market’s expectations. On the other hand, the company’s guidance for the Q3 and full-year periods disappointed investors and is prompting a big valuation pullback today.

What’s next for Figma?

Figma completed its initial public offering (IPO) at the end of July, and the quarterly report published yesterday has provided investors with the company’s first official guidance update. For the third quarter, Figma is targeting sales between $263 million and $265 million, representing growth of roughly 33% year over year at the midpoint of the guidance range.

On the heels of the growth it posted in Q2 and the 48% annual sales increase recorded in 2024, the company’s forecasts call for a substantial deceleration of growth. Figma’s second-quarter results and forward guidance don’t look terrible by any stretch of the imagination, but the stock could continue to be volatile as investors try to assess how to value the newly public company and its longer-term growth trajectory.
