Movement Alert|Figma Falls 5.37% in Regular Trading, Application Software Sector Broadly Under Pressure Amid Lingering AI Cost Concerns

Market Focus09-28 21:45

On September 28, Figma declined 5.37% in regular trading, trading at $19.72/share, with turnover of approximately $29.82 million. The stock extended its post-earnings downtrend as broad application software sector weakness compounded ongoing profitability concerns.

The decline was driven by a sector-wide selloff in application software names. Salesforce fell 4.83%, Adobe dropped 4.45%, and Palantir Technologies slipped 0.75%, reflecting broad-based risk-off sentiment across the group. Figma tracked lower in sympathy with the sector.

Underlying the move, market participants continue to weigh lingering concerns from Figma's second-quarter results. While the company reported revenue of $370.1 million, up 48% year-over-year and above the consensus estimate of $351.6 million, aggressive AI investment pushed GAAP operating losses to $117 million. Free cash flow margin contracted sharply from 24% to 14% year-over-year. The delayed path to profitability, as flagged by Morgan Stanley, remains a key overhang. Additionally, large software companies have begun offering AI-related discounts to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI, adding incremental margin pressure across the sector.

Figma is an AI-powered design platform enabling collaboration across product development. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
