Figma Inc A (FIG) fell 15.52% in intraday trading to $23.78 on August 6, 2026, amid a broad selloff in the software sector and a downgrade in analyst price targets. The stock opened at $24.38, a 13.4% gap down from the previous close, and continued to decline through the morning session. The move followed the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report, which showed a revenue beat and raised full-year guidance but also highlighted rising costs from AI investments.
What Happened
Figma reported Q2 2026 revenue of $370 million, a 48% year-over-year increase, and raised its full-year revenue forecast to between $1.463 billion and $1.467 billion. Despite the strong top-line results, the stock fell sharply after the CEO forfeited $46 million in stock awards, signaling internal concerns. The company also outlined significant investments in AI monetization, which raised questions about near-term profitability. Morgan Stanley cut its price target for Figma to $33 from $38, contributing to the sell-off. The stock’s decline was part of a broader software sector slump, with Datadog and HubSpot also reporting weak results.
What The Data Shows
Figma’s stock has traded in a 52-week range of $16.60 to $94.00, with a current market cap of $14.3 billion. The stock opened with a large gap down and reached an intraday low of $22.14 before stabilizing slightly. Volume of 30.9 million shares was 1.6 times the 3-month daily average. Over the last eight sessions, the stock has declined 3.4%, from $24.38 to $23.55. Insider sales have been active, with 13 sales totaling $34.7 million in the last 90 days. Retail traders on r/wallstreetbets noted the earnings beat but did not influence the stock’s direction.
What To Watch
Figma’s next key event is its Q3 2026 earnings report, which will provide further insight into the company’s progress with AI monetization and cost management. Coverage breadth remains limited, with 15 stories from 11 sources in the last 36 hours.
