Figma's stock has experienced volatility following its IPO, surging over 250% to $142.92 on its first day, then correcting sharply. The company's revenue grew 48% last year to $749 million and its non-GAAP operating margin was a healthy 17% in the most recent quarter. Figma excels at retaining and growing customer accounts, with a net dollar retention rate of 132%. The company's market position is strong, with 95% of Fortune 500 companies using the platform. However, its stock trades at a premium price-to-sales ratio, raising concerns about its valuation.
Figma Inc. (FIG) experienced significant volatility following its IPO, with shares surging over 250% to $142.92 on its first day, before correcting sharply. The company's revenue grew 48% last year to $749 million, and its non-GAAP operating margin was a healthy 17% in the most recent quarter [1]. Figma excels at retaining and growing customer accounts, with a net dollar retention rate of 132%, and boasts a strong market position, with 95% of Fortune 500 companies using the platform [2].However, the company's stock trades at a premium price-to-sales ratio, raising concerns about its valuation. Even after the post-IPO pullback, Figma trades at a price-to-sales ratio substantially higher than most other top-tier, high-growth software companies. For context, while a fast-growing SaaS peer might trade at 15 to 20 times its annual sales, Figma's valuation has been significantly above that range [2].
Despite these valuation concerns, Figma's strong fundamentals and market position have drawn investor attention. The company's growth, profitability, and market positioning make it a standout in the SaaS industry. However, investors should monitor upcoming events, such as the expiration of the IPO quiet period and the IPO lock-up period, which could influence the stock's performance [2].
