Shares of Figma were changing hands near $24.97 during Monday’s morning session, posting gains of approximately 4.5% as momentum from the company’s mid-May quarterly report persisted.
This latest advance pushed FIG more than 30% higher than its closing price near $17.70 recorded in late April.
Broader equity markets provided no tailwind — major indices including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite all traded lower — indicating the strength was entirely company-driven.
The catalyst behind Figma’s momentum was its first quarter fiscal 2026 performance. Total revenue landed at $333.4 million, marking 46% year-over-year expansion, exceeding the company’s own projections and topping the Street’s $316 million expectation by roughly 5.5%.
This growth trajectory represented an acceleration from the 40% rate posted in Q4 fiscal 2025 and the 38% recorded in Q3 fiscal 2025 — marking back-to-back quarters of improving momentum.
Adjusted earnings per share of $0.10 substantially exceeded the consensus forecast of $0.06. Chief Executive Dylan Field emphasized the results: “Q1 was an incredible quarter for Figma. When code is a commodity, design is the competitive edge.”
User Base and Retention Performance
The fundamental metrics supported the top-line outperformance.
Net Dollar Retention climbed to 139%, representing its peak level in more than 24 months. Paying customers generating over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue expanded 48% compared to last year, while the total paying customer base surged 54% to reach approximately 690,000.
These data points are significant because they demonstrate expanding wallet share among the existing customer base, not merely new customer acquisition.
The monetization of AI credits — a critical focus area for the investment community — delivered encouraging results. Over 75% of Organization and Enterprise tier users who previously reached their complimentary credit allocations continued purchasing additional credits once enforcement began. This represents tangible revenue conversion, not simply engagement metrics.
Updated Outlook and Wall Street Response
Management elevated its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue forecast to a range of $1.422 billion to $1.428 billion, marking a $55 million increase from previous guidance and implying 35% year-over-year expansion at the midpoint.
Goldman Sachs adjusted its stance by reducing its price objective from $35 to $30 — reflecting a recalibration of peer group valuation multiples — while simultaneously increasing revenue projections to $1.428 billion for fiscal 2026, $1.729 billion for fiscal 2027, and $2.039 billion for fiscal 2028.
The quarterly results appear to have addressed a specific concern that had pressured FIG shares. Market participants had worried that no-cost AI-powered design solutions from Google and competing platforms would erode Figma’s pricing authority. The first quarter data challenged that thesis.
Integrations with development tools including Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code are positioning Figma as a complementary component within AI-enhanced workflows rather than a displacement target.
The company recorded a net loss of $142.4 million for the quarter, contrasting with net income of $8.61 million in the year-ago period — highlighting continued substantial investment spending and inconsistent profitability.
Sell-side analysts modeling extended-term performance anticipate approximately $1.7 billion in revenue and roughly $214 million in earnings by fiscal 2028, requiring approximately 21% compound annual revenue growth from current levels.
Goldman Sachs maintains a $30 price target, compared to the current trading level just below $25.
