Movement Alert｜Figma Intraday Rise 5.28% in Regular Trading, CFO Says AI Demand Growth May Come at the Expense of Margins

Market Focus10-15

On October 15, Figma rose 5.28% in Regular Trading, trading at $22.58/share, with turnover of $86.53 million.

The clearest catalyst was management commentary that the company is willing to accept margin pressure to support AI-driven demand growth, prompting investors to refocus on revenue momentum from new AI features.

According to the company’s finance chief, quarterly gross margin has fallen from historical levels above 90% to the mid-80% range over the past year as Figma increases AI investment. Earlier this year, the company also began usage-based pricing for AI credits on its platform. The comments came after a broker cut its target price to $22 from $25 while keeping a hold-equivalent stance, underscoring the market’s split view: AI tools are supporting steady revenue growth, but inference and product investment are weighing on profitability.
