# Figma stock fell 17% after beating Q3, and trades 44% under its IPO price > Figma (FIG) closed at $18.63 on November 10, 2026, 44% under its $33 IPO price. Why it fell after beating Q3, what insiders did, and what the accounts we track say. By Maya Koeva · 2026-11-11 Figma (NYSE: FIG) closed at $18.63 on November 10, 2026, 44% under its $33 IPO price and 85% under its first-week high. It fell 17% the day after beating its own Q3 revenue guidance, because growth is slowing and AI is costing it margin. Two of the top-ranked accounts we track were wary of it in October; its 7-day score is a neutral 48. Makes Figma, the browser-based design and prototyping tool, plus FigJam, Dev Mode and AI design features FIG, on the New York Stock Exchange Priced July 30, 2025, at $33; closed its first day, July 31, at $115.50 $18.63 on November 10, 2026 $16.84 to $44.48 (closing, June 25, 2026 and November 11, 2025) $391.4 million, up 43% from a year earlier Q4 2026, expected mid to late February 2027; date not yet announced  ## What happened to Figma stock *[Chart: Figma (FIG) weekly close, August 1, 2025 to November 10, 2026.]* | Date | FIG close | Move | |---|---:|---:| | July 30, 2025 | $33.00 | IPO price | | July 31, 2025 | $115.50 | first day of trading | | August 1, 2025 | $122.00 | all-time closing high | | January 2, 2026 | $37.61 | -69% from the high | | June 25, 2026 | $16.84 | 52-week closing low | | August 6, 2026 | $23.97 | -15% the day after Q2 | | November 4, 2026 | $22.13 | Q3 report day, before the release | | November 5, 2026 | $18.44 | -17% in a day | | November 10, 2026 | $18.63 | -44% from the IPO price | Figma [priced its IPO at $33](https://www.figma.com/blog/ipo-pricing/) and more than tripled on its first day. By early January 2026 it had lost 69% from its first-week high. The stock lost about half its value in the first half of 2026, as [investors worried](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-figma-stock-lost-52-first-half-2026) that AI design tools, including Anthropic's Claude Design, could do part of what Figma sells. In August, Jim Cramer argued that design-software makers should be worth less than a year earlier for the same reason. The stock has fallen after each of the last two reports: 15% after Q2 in August and 17% after Q3 in November. ## Why Figma stock fell after earnings On November 4, Figma reported Q3 2026 revenue of $391.4 million, up 43% from a year earlier and $16.4 million above the top of its own guidance, per its [Q3 release](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001579878/000162828026070133/q326pressrelease.htm). It raised its full-year revenue outlook to $1.497 billion to $1.499 billion. That counts as an [earnings beat](/learn/what-is-an-earnings-beat), and the stock fell 17% the next day. Investors focused on three numbers: | | Q2 2026 | Q3 2026 | |---|---:|---:| | Revenue growth | 48% | 43% | | Net dollar retention | 136% | 131% | | Non-GAAP gross margin | 85% | 82% | - **Growth is slowing.** Q4 [guidance](/learn/what-is-forward-guidance) of $402 million to $404 million works out to about 33% growth, down from 48% in Q2. - **Customers are expanding more slowly.** Net dollar retention, how much more existing customers spend a year later, fell from 136% to 131%. - **AI is costing margin.** Gross margin dropped to 82% from 85% in Q2 as Figma pays for the AI infrastructure behind its new features. CEO Dylan Field framed the quarter as a win for design: "As code becomes a commodity, value is moving up the stack to design." ## What Figma insiders did Figma insiders have filed sales or planned-sale notices 39 times since September 2025, 35 of them under pre-arranged [10b5-1 trading plans](/learn/what-is-insider-buying). Dylan Field sold $113 million of stock in November 2025 under such a plan. Planned sales after an IPO are routine, so Quantral leaves them out. Quantral shows open-market buys, and Figma has had one since its IPO week. In February 2026, Sequoia Capital funds tied to director Andrew Reed bought about 1.47 million shares, roughly [$36.5 million](https://www.stocktitan.net/sec-filings/FIG/form-4-figma-inc-insider-trading-activity-9b7b1c95f0ed.html), at $23.95 to $25.90. FIG now trades below that range. **[Why CEO and director buys matter](/blog/ceo-buying-stock)** covers what a buy like this can and can't tell you. ## The bull case The bullish accounts see a category leader that keeps beating. - **It keeps beating and raising.** Before the August report, @CKCapitalxx, who ranks 2nd in our track-record ranking, laid out a pattern of three straight beat-and-raise quarters, net dollar retention above 130% and accelerating revenue growth. - **AI is starting to pay.** Management points to growing use of its AI credits and its MCP server, which lets AI coding tools read Figma files. - **Designers depend on it.** After the Q3 drop, a Reddit commenter called Figma indispensable in product design, with per-seat pricing that AI tools have not undercut. These are their views. For more on the top-ranked bull, see **[CKCapitalxx's profile](/blog/who-is-ckcapitalxx)**. ## The bear case The bears focus on price, timing and margins. - **IPO stocks tend to fade.** In October, @babyfolio, who ranks 15th in our track-record ranking, wrote that he does not touch IPOs at launch and named FIG with SpaceX and Cerebras. The same week @KawzInvests (5th) listed Figma among hyped IPOs that burned retail holders. FIG closed at $21.54 on October 19 and $18.63 on November 10. - **The business may not monetize well.** After the report, Reddit bears argued that Figma's market is too price-competitive to monetize well, and that a sale of the company is the likeliest good outcome. - **AI raises costs and competition.** Figma's AI features lower its gross margin, and AI labs now sell their own design tools. ## Where sentiment stands now In the last 30 days the accounts we track posted 18 mentions of Figma, 6 bullish and 10 bearish, most of them on the night of the report. The two highest-ranked accounts to weigh in since mid-August, @KawzInvests and @babyfolio, were both skeptical. Quantral's 7-day score for Figma was 48 on the morning of November 11, a neutral read after a 17% drop. The score gives more weight to authors with a proven track record. ## What to watch 1. **Q4 2026 earnings, expected mid to late February.** Figma reported Q4 2025 on February 18, 2026. 2. **Net dollar retention.** Another drop would extend the slowdown; a rebound would answer the main bear point. 3. **Gross margin.** Whether AI costs level off near 82% or keep falling. 4. **Insider filings.** More planned sales are likely; another open-market buy would stand out.

Figma priced on July 30, 2025, and began trading on the NYSE the next day, closing at $115.50. ### Why is Figma stock down?
