Figma Stock (FIG) Soars 250% in NYSE Debut, Signals Reopening of Tech IPO Market

Figma (NYSE: FIG) made a spectacular entrance into the public markets on July 31, 2025, as its stock tripled in value during its first trading day on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The much-anticipated Figma IPO priced shares at $33, but the FIG stock price quickly surged to an astonishing $115.50 by the market close—marking a 250% gain.

The success of $FIG stock is the clearest sign yet that investor appetite for tech IPOs is returning after a multi-year drought. With a market cap of nearly $68 billion, Figma’s public debut rivals some of the most successful tech listings in recent years.

Figma IPO: A Game-Changer in the Design Software Industry

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Francisco, Figma is a collaborative design platform widely used by developers, product managers, and designers alike. The company boasts over 13 million monthly users, with big names like Google, Microsoft, Netflix, and Uber on its client roster.

Figma CEO Dylan Field, who co-founded the company, emphasized the company’s long-term vision over short-term market fluctuations. “The most important thing to remind myself and the team is that share price is a moment in time,” he told CNBC’s Squawk Box.

Despite the wild success of the Figma stock price on day one, Field urged employees and investors to remain grounded. His own stake in the company is now valued at more than $6 billion, reflecting investor confidence in both the product and leadership.

From Adobe Deal to IPO: A Turnaround Story

The road to the Figma IPO was anything but smooth. In 2022, Adobe made headlines with a $20 billion offer to acquire Figma, but the deal collapsed in 2023 after regulatory concerns, particularly from UK competition authorities. That failed merger may have turned out to be a blessing, as Figma was able to preserve its independence and go public with even greater momentum.

The Figma IPO stocks were priced slightly above expectations, initially targeted at $25 to $28, then adjusted to $30-$32 earlier this week. Ultimately, the offering priced at $33 per share, raising $1.2 billion, primarily for early investors such as Greylock Partners, Index Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.

Figma Stock Price Chart: Tracking Explosive Growth

The Figma stock price chart will be one to watch in the coming weeks. Trading under the Figma ticker symbol “FIG”, the stock was briefly halted after surpassing $112, only to resume and close even higher. Analysts are closely monitoring the volatility as FIG finds its equilibrium in the public market.

As of July 31, Figma’s revenue stood at approximately $250 million for Q2 2025, with operating income between $9 million and $12 million—a sign of healthy financials and strong year-over-year growth of nearly 40%.


When Will Figma Start Trading? It Already Did—with a Bang

If you’ve been wondering, “When does Figma go public?” or “What time does Figma start trading?”—that moment arrived on Thursday morning at the NYSE opening bell. The buzz around the Figma price and ticker “FIG” was palpable among traders and tech enthusiasts alike.

With this stunning debut, Figma joins the ranks of high-performing IPOs like Chime, Circle, and CoreWeave in what seems to be a revival of tech IPOs in 2025.

Long before Edgar Wright’s The Running Man hits theaters this week, the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz had been thinking about making it. He read the original 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) as a boy and excitedly went to theaters in 1987 to see the film version, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wright enjoyed the adaptation but was a little let down by just how different it was from the novel. Years later, after he’d become a successful… Source link
