Summary
$370 million in Q2 revenue beat estimates and rose 48%, but Figma shares still closed 14.9% lower after investors focused on rising costs and softer growth signals.
R&D expense climbed to $167 million, up 101% year over year after the company launched an AI agent, while operating margin narrowed to 10% from 16%.
Figma still raised full-year revenue guidance to $1.463 billion-$1.467 billion from $1.422 billion-$1.428 billion, suggesting demand remains solid despite the selloff.
Third-quarter guidance of $373 million-$375 million implied only about 1% sequential growth, feeding concerns that software growth could slow as AI intensifies competition.
The drop adds to a brutal run for the stock, already down 32% year to date and 68% over the past year, with a forward P/E of 87.72 and short interest near 30% of float.
