Shares of Figma (FIG) stock retreated approximately 5% during Wednesday’s trading session after SEC filings disclosed that CEO Dylan Field divested $4.36 million in Class A shares earlier in May. Trading activity placed the stock near the $23 level.
On May 29, Field executed the sale of 174,430 Class A shares at a weighted average price point of $25.02, with individual trade prices ranging from $25.00 to $25.11. The divestiture was completed via the Field 2024 GRAT Remainder Trust, with A7P Trust Company serving as the designated trustee.
This sale was executed under a predetermined Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement — referred to as the “Field Diversification Plan” — which Field established in August 2025. Such trading plans enable corporate executives to sell shares on a predetermined schedule, eliminating concerns about trading based on material non-public information.
Prior to the transaction, the trust converted 174,430 Class B shares into an equivalent number of Class A shares, a routine procedure specified in Figma’s corporate charter documents. Post-sale, the trust no longer maintains any Class A share holdings.
Despite this transaction, Field retains significant ownership in the company. His direct holdings include 37,987,566 Class B shares, with additional indirect stakes through LLL Investments LLC (14,754,517 Class B shares), the Field 2021 Descendants Trust (1,122,908 Class B shares), and the Field 2024 GRAT Remainder Trust (348,859 remaining Class B shares).
Tech-Software Sector Weakness Contributed to Decline
The stock’s downward movement wasn’t an isolated event. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) experienced a 3.5% decline during the same trading session, reversing course after climbing over 25% in the preceding month. Fresh concerns regarding AI-driven disruption have triggered some investor rotation away from software equities.
Figma’s stock performance has been particularly challenging recently. FIG shares have crashed 79% over the trailing twelve months, with the current price hovering around $23.
Wall Street Downgrades Despite Strong Fundamentals
The analyst community has been recalibrating their forecasts. Stifel reduced its price target to $25, highlighting AI-related uncertainty. Piper Sandler lowered expectations to $30, emphasizing margin compression risks. RBC Capital adjusted downward to $28, citing valuation considerations. Oppenheimer continues to maintain a Perform rating.
Separately, activist investor Findell Capital Management has called on Figma to optimize operational efficiency and reassess board governance practices, particularly following Anthropic‘s introduction of a competitive design tool.
However, Figma’s core business metrics remain robust. The company achieved 41% revenue expansion to $1.16 billion while maintaining gross profit margins near 80%. During Q1, revenue surged 46% on a year-over-year basis, exceeding consensus estimates by $17.4 million. Company leadership attributed this performance to increased seat expansion and accelerating AI platform adoption.
InvestingPro analysts project that Figma will achieve profitability during the current fiscal year following recent operating losses.
