Figma stock rises 19% in premarket trade Friday, poised to build on Thursday's 250% rally

Yahoo4 days ago
Figma (FIG) stock looked set to surge again on Friday, rising as much as 19% in premarket trading after shares rocketed higher with a gain of 250% in Thursday's public market debut.
The design software company priced its IPO at $33 per share late Wednesday, and the stock did not begin trading until nearly 2:00 p.m. ET on Thursday. Shares opened for trade at $85 and were halted more than once Thursday afternoon due to volatility as traders rushed into the name amid what's become a frenzied IPO market for new tech issues.
Figma's IPO price gave the company a market value near $20 billion; ahead of Friday's open, the company was worth more than $50 billion.
Figma's IPO price came in above estimates of $30-$32 per share, signaling bullish investor interest in the company. As part of the offering, Figma raised about $1.2 billion in a sale of 36.94 million shares, split between the company's sale of 12.47 million shares and existing shareholders' sale of 24.46 million shares.
The company's current valuation has made it worth more than double the $20 billion price tag for which software giant Adobe (ADBE) had tried to acquire Figma in 2023 before having to cancel the deal after anti-competition pushback from European regulators.
This year saw rapid growth for Figma, led by 33-year-old CEO Dylan Fields, as the design software and collaboration toolmaker reported revenue growth of over 46% year over year, according to securities filings. The company noted that more than 75% of the Forbes 2000 companies use its software.
The IPO was one of the most successful of the year, beating out the performance of previous 2025 IPO darling Circle Internet Group (CRCL), which popped by 168% in its first day of trading in June. Circle is up more than 490% since its IPO. AI play CoreWeave (CRWV) has also seen its shares rise more than 190% since a debut in March.
The success of Figma's offering is the latest sign that the year of dealmaking called for by Wall Street may finally be here after a first half that saw M&A stymied by tariff uncertainty and a market downturn.

Jim Cramer Highlights Microsoft's $4 Trillion Moment and AI-Driven Strength

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer spoke about. During the episode, Cramer discussed the company's recently posted strong earnings. He said: 'What should it have been about? Well, how about Microsoft? How about Meta? Nope. They were overshadowed by the Fig-Man Carnival. It was all anyone talked about down here. Call me old-fashioned, but I really wanted the market today to be defined by those earnings reports from two tech titans. I'm talking about Microsoft, briefly a $4 trillion company today, before closing just below that level, and Meta at just under $2 trillion. I wanted these to be foundational… Pixabay/Public Domain Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) provides software, cloud services, devices, and AI-driven tools across productivity, business applications, and personal computing.

Jim Cramer Questions Spotify's Latest Numbers

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:SPOT) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer spoke about. A caller asked if the stock is a buy or hold given that the economy seems to be faltering. In response, Cramer said: 'I was so mystified by Spotify. That was a really not great number. I don't get it. I don't know what happened. I can't own the stock until I figure out what the heck happened.' Photo by Norbert Buduczki on Unsplash Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) provides audio streaming services through subscription and ad-supported models, providing access to a vast catalog of music and podcasts. Cramer suggested buying the stock during a June episode: 'My confidence in subscription model extends to Spotify. This incredible company dominates the podcast business and the music business, and of course, the new high list. It's roaring right now, but it does have periodic moments of underperformance, and that's when you gotta snap it up [buy, buy, buy].'
