NYSE: FIG
Key Data Points
To investors, Figma may be best known as the former target of Adobe (ADBE -0.86%), which tried to acquire the start-up for $20 billion back in 2022. It later backed away after regulators brought up antitrust concerns. Since then, Figma has continued to deliver strong growth, and it just had a blowout initial public offering (IPO) as the stock surged on opening day, more than tripling from its $33 IPO price.

The bottom line on Figma
Figma will end up being one of the biggest, if not the biggest, IPOs of 2025, and there are a number of reasons the stock soared on its debut. It's growing rapidly, profitable, appears to have a bright future, has built a large customer base -- with 76% of the Forbes 2000 companies among its customers -- and it's been able to cross-sell products as it grows its product portfolio.
Adobe's attempt to buy the company for $20 billion when it was much smaller three years ago also adds to its credibility. As a business, Figma looks poised for success. While its valuation is steep, the stock deserves to trade at a premium, given its track record of revenue growth and profitability and the strength of its product portfolio.
