August witnessed Figma's stock enduring a significant 39% decline in value.
Figma, the rapidly growing software company, concluded a tumultuous August following its initial public offering (IPO) with its stock trading mostly flat after an initial decline. The stock peaked at $142.92 on August 1, but fell again on August 4, marking a 39% decline for the month.
Despite this pullback, Figma's stock still holds a high price-to-sales ratio of 36. The company is expected to deliver its first report as a publicly traded company after hours today, shedding light on its financial performance and potential growth prospects.
According to the Wall Street consensus, Figma is predicted to report earnings per share of $0.08 and revenue of $248.7 million, representing a 40.3% increase from the same quarter last year. Several Wall Street analysts have given Figma's stock mostly hold-equivalent ratings, with a few offering buy ratings.
Piper Sandler, however, rated Figma's stock as overweight with a price target of $85, suggesting potential upside for investors. Goldman Sachs, on the other hand, expressed skepticism about Figma's valuation, citing limited visibility into its momentum and revenue growth.
The stock tumbled early in the month and pulled back from its initial frenzy, likely due to weaker-than-expected financial performance or market conditions affecting tech IPOs. However, investor confidence returned in the last week of the month as the broader IPO market recovered and demand for tech stocks increased, exemplified by the successful debuts of Klarna and Bullish.
As Figma prepares to release its earnings report, the stock's performance will likely be closely watched. The report could provide insight into the company's financial health and future growth plans, potentially influencing the stock's direction in the coming months.
