Figma Stock Goes Parabolic in Market Debut — Should You Buy?Figma stock NYSE:FIG more than tripled on IPO day. But that’s not thanks to the Figma guys — they had agreed to sell the company to Adobe NASDAQ:ADBE just two years ago.
Figma stock NYSE:FIG made a spectacular entrance into public markets last week — and then some. Shares of the design software firm surged 250% in their debut Thursday and climbed another 5% Friday, pushing the company’s fully diluted valuation to about half the size of Adobe NASDAQ:ADBE , the company that once tried to acquire Figma for $20 billion before regulators shut it down.
It’s a strong showing for the IPO market and a signal that investors are still willing to pay up for growth — even if the valuation raises more than a few eyebrows.
💸 $33 Becomes $118: Here’s What Happened
Figma priced its IPO at $33 per share on Wednesday, above the already-raised target range of $30–$32. The stock opened at $85, hit highs around $120, and closed the day up 250% . It ended Friday at $122, giving the company a fully diluted valuation of roughly $70 billion.
Quick stat: Figma pulled in $749 million in revenue last year. That means Figma’s price-to-sales ratio is sitting close to 94x. By contrast, Adobe trades at just under 11x sales. Froth or not?
📈 Growth Is Real — But So Is Volatility
The one big thing in Figma’s favor is growth. The company increased revenue by 48% last year and by another 46% in Q1 2025. But profitability is uneven. It posted a net loss of $732 million last year — a reversal from a $737 million profit in 2023 that was mostly boosted by a $1 billion breakup fee from Adobe. Without that one-off, the business hasn’t been consistently profitable.
In Q1 of this year, however, Figma did turn a small profit of $44.9 million. That’s a good sign — but it’s not enough to embrace a 94x multiple.
🤝 Who Uses Figma and Why It Matters
Figma isn’t just a trendy tool for designers — it’s widely used across big tech. Clients include Netflix NASDAQ:NFLX , Coinbase NASDAQ:COIN , Spotify NYSE:SPOT , and even the finance bros over at Vanguard. The software allows real-time collaboration, making it pretty attractive for remote or hybrid teams.
Its browser-based model and freemium pricing helped it spread fast during the pandemic, and now it’s seen as essential software for modern digital product teams. If you’ve ever opened a figma.com link during a Zoom call, you already know. “Can everyone see my screen?”
💎 Figma, the Bitcoin Holder
In a twist that feels very 2025, Figma disclosed in its filings that it holds Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD . The company invested $55 million in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF AMEX:BITB in March 2024 — and by March 2025, that stake had grown to nearly $70 million. They also bought $30 million worth of USD Coin CRYPTOCAP:USDC , which they plan to convert into more Bitcoin later on.
Figma’s treasury strategy echoes moves by companies like Strategy NASDAQ:MSTR , GameStop NYSE:GME , and Tesla NASDAQ:TSLA , and signals a growing trend among tech companies holding crypto on the balance sheet. It also adds another layer of volatility to Figma’s investment profile — though bulls might see it as a hedge.
🧾 IPO Cash and What Comes Next
Figma, as the newest entrant into the US stock market , raised over $1.2 billion from its IPO, capital it says will be used for general corporate purposes, product development, and potential acquisitions. Given its ambitious roadmap, that kind of cash cushion could help sustain growth — especially as it scales up competition with Adobe, Sketch, Canva, and Notion.
That said, being public also means new (and painful) expectations. Traders and investors will want to see steady top-line expansion, margin improvement, and a path to sustainable profit.
👀 Should You Buy the Stock Now?
The enthusiasm is clear — but so is the premium. Buying Figma now means paying 94x revenue for a company with promising growth but no long-term track record of profitability. That’s a tough sell for value investors but par for the course in growth tech — at least during bullish cycles.
If you're a long-term believer in the design software space and Figma's competitive edge, you may see upside. But for others, it might be worth watching a few quarters of earnings before jumping in. IPOs often pull back once the first wave of euphoria fades (and the insiders dump their stakes).
👉 Bottom Line
Figma’s market debut was one of the most successful of 2025 so far. The company has the brand, the user base, and the growth metrics to somewhat justify serious investor interest. But it also has a premium valuation and a patchy history of profitability.
Earlier this year, CoreWeave NASDAQ:CRWV (cloud computing and AI) and Circle Internet Group NYSE:CRCL (the stablecoin guys) stunned Wall Street with similarly turbocharged entries. It’s a unicorn stampede, and investors are chasing them like it’s 2021 all over again.
Off to you : Are you buying NYSE:FIG ? Holding off? Or just admiring the charts like a good minimalist designer?
IPO
OMSE falling wedge after IPONeutral on OMSE, another relatively new ticker. Similar to my previous post on DVLT, this ticker is fundamentally strong but stuck in a falling wedge after IPO. Price is struggling to break the daily 20EMA (overlayed on this 4H chart) and has rejected multiple times. The company has strong financials, take the time to do some DD, however this pattern could break to the downside and hit new lows before we see any type of rally given the weakness in this sector at the moment. Set alerts and watch the price action play out, or don't bet your rent money on any direction if entering a position.

PALANTIR REMAINS YOUR TRADING GOAL, DOUBLING IN PRICE IN 2025In the Faraway Kingdom... In the Thirtieth Realm....
Somewhere in another Galaxy.. in late December, 2024 (yet before The Second Coming of Trump), @TradingView asked at it awesome Giveaway: Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas .

2️⃣ What is your trading goal for 2025?
Here's what we answered:
1️⃣ What was your best trade this year?

Current result is 5X, to $80 per share.
Also I added more Palantir after SP500 Index inclusion in September 2024 watch here .
Current result is 2.6X, from $30 to $80 per share.
2️⃣ What is your trading goal for 2025?
- Once again, surely Palantir NASDAQ:PLTR 💖
It's gone 7 months or so... (Wow... 7 months really? 😸😸😸)
Let see what's happened next at the main graph of Palantir stock, to LEARN WHY PALANTIR REMAINS THE TRADING GOAL, DOUBLING IN PRICE IN 2025...
Palantir stock remains an attractive trading goal for several compelling reasons rooted in its strong market performance, innovative technology, and robust growth prospects, particularly in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
1. Exceptional Stock Performance and Momentum.
Palantir Technologies has been one of the best-performing stocks in 2025, surging over 80% in the first half of the year alone, vastly outperforming the S&P 500’s modest 5.5% gain. The stock recently hit all-time highs around $149, reflecting a nearly 400% increase year-over-year, underscoring its strong momentum and investor enthusiasm. This surge positions Palantir as a top AI stock to watch, attracting both retail and institutional investors, including conservative entities like the Czech National Bank.
2. Leadership in AI and Data Analytics.
Palantir is not just a data analytics company; it has transformed into a major AI software provider with its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). This platform extends beyond government contracts into commercial sectors such as healthcare, energy, and automotive, fueling significant revenue growth. The company reported a 39% revenue increase to $883.9 million in Q1 2025, driven largely by AI adoption. Its AI platform is gaining traction globally, with many companies rapidly adopting Palantir’s software through short training bootcamps, demonstrating scalable and fast integration.
3. Strong Government and Commercial Contracts.
Palantir’s roots in government intelligence and defense continue to be a significant revenue driver. The U.S. government division alone generated $373 million in Q1 2025, with overall government revenue up 45% year-over-year. Strategic partnerships, such as with Accenture to streamline federal operations and projects like the U.S. Navy’s ‘Warp Speed for Warships,’ highlight Palantir’s expanding footprint in critical government sectors. Simultaneously, the commercial segment is booming, with revenue soaring 71% to $255 million in Q1 and projected to reach $1.178 billion in 2025.
4. Financial Health and Growth Outlook.
Palantir’s financials are strengthening, with no debt and adjusted free cash flow more than doubling to $370.4 million in the recent quarter. Analysts forecast the company’s revenue to exceed $3.5 billion in 2025, up from $2.23 billion the previous year, and project potential revenue of $7 billion by 2028. Operating margins are improving, with a recent quarter reporting a 26% margin, the highest in company history. This solid financial foundation supports further investment in AI innovation and market expansion.
5. Market Position and Competitive Edge.
While Palantir competes with tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in the AI and data analytics space, it has carved out a unique niche with its specialized government contracts and AI-driven software solutions. Its ability to integrate complex datasets for real-world operational use distinguishes it from competitors, fostering a loyal investor base and a "cult-like" following among retail investors.
6. High Valuation Reflects Growth Expectations.
Despite a high price-to-earnings ratio (PE around 621), reflecting elevated expectations, many analysts remain optimistic about Palantir’s long-term potential due to its rapid growth and expanding AI capabilities. The company’s market capitalization has soared above $330 billion, surpassing many established corporations, signaling strong market confidence.
7. Palantir stock is a compelling trading goal because it combines robust growth, cutting-edge AI technology, strong government and commercial contracts, and solid financial health.
8. In conclusion, Palantir remarkable stock performance and strategic positioning in the booming AI sector make it a promising investment for traders seeking exposure to transformative technology with significant upside potential.
9. ...and yet, Palantir performance since inception (It ultimately went public on the New York Stock Exchange through a direct public offering on September 30, 2020) is better, rather then Bitcoin.

What’s Next for PROSTARM Investors...?Prostarm has decisively broken its all-time high. Since its IPO on June 3rd, it has successfully surpassed the major resistance level of 126 and is holding strong above it. We should take advantage of this opportunity and establish a long position on the retest of the 126 level.
Buying CRCL after IPO — expecting a strong move like SEZLCRCL just hit the market after its IPO and is already showing signs of strength. This setup reminds me a lot of SEZL — after it went public, we saw a strong consolidation phase followed by a confident rally.
Right now, CRCL looks like it’s building a solid base. I'm starting to buy around current levels, expecting demand to grow. As long as the structure holds and buyers stay active, I see a good chance for continuation to the upside.
New IPOs like this often attract attention, and I’m treating it as an early opportunity. Same playbook as SEZL — patience and positioning.
ETOR : Entry after IPOKind of social trading platform.
Etoro Platform also uses artificial intelligence.
I researched that it also allows trading of crypto assets.
$10B SPAC initiative canceled in 2022.
We re approaching mid 2025 .
Current market cap: around $5-5.3B.
Ground for progress may be present in good market conditions.
While institutions bought at $52, individuals were most likely able to buy above $70.
This was a great misfortune.
Very high opening of the IPO caused sharp sales, but holding for the medium term may be beneficial.As I briefly mentioned above, parameters that will bring momentum to stock may occur.
Constantly looking at the screen so much in such instruments can create a huge sense of panic and failure.
Target price: 90.00 - 94.00
Stop: 50.00
Amount: 1/3 of your portfolio's financial technology stocks ( e.g)
Risk - Reward Ratio > 2.80
