The Figma (FIG<\/b>) IPO is one debut that investors will be talking about for a long time.<\/p>\n
The company, which describes itself as a collaborative, web-based design and prototyping platform enabling teams to create, share, and iterate on user interface designs in real time, priced a full-size offering of 36.9 million shares at $33.00. It opened at $85.00, marking a 157.6% gain at first trade. Within ten minutes\u2014and after a couple of halts\u2014the stock surpassed $100 and continued climbing. The official first-day high was $124.63, a 277% gain above the issue price. In aftermarket trading on Thursday, it reached as high as $150.00 before closing the week at $122.00.<\/p>\n
According to our sources, the deal was more than 40-times oversubscribed<\/b>. Demand was so strong that underwriters and the company increased the pricing range from $25\u2013$28 to $30\u2013$32 earlier in the week. Highlighting the IPO’s strength, underwriters reported a 100% conversion rate during the roadshow\u2014every investor meeting resulted in an order being placed.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re told that 70% of the allocation went to the top 25 accounts, and nearly half of the order book received zero allocation.<\/p>\n
The 157.6% jump at the first trade was the largest IPO pop of 2025<\/strong>, and the 250.0% gain at the close marked the best debut performance since Cloopen Group Holdings Ltd (RAAS)<\/strong> in February 2021, which rose 200% on Day One.<\/p>\n Figma\u2019s story is unique and had the potential to ignite the IPO market. The company had previously agreed to a $20 billion merger with Adobe, but the deal was terminated following regulatory scrutiny. That aborted acquisition effectively created a \u201cput\u201d well above the IPO price.<\/p>\n Figma began as a browser-based design tool but has since expanded into product development and marketing, recently incorporating AI-driven features. The customer base is both vast and diversified: 78% of the Forbes Global 2000 use Figma, 85% of active users are based outside the U.S., and 70% of customers are on organization or enterprise plans. Over 1,000 customers generate $100K+ in annual recurring revenue (ARR), and 40 contribute more than $1 million annually.<\/p>\n When setting IPO terms, Figma disclosed Q2 revenue growth between 39% and 41% year-over-year. Whether you measure by the Rule of 40 or Rule of 60, Figma clears the bar by any metric.<\/p>\n This IPO will be remembered as a landmark moment\u2014its success is expected to pave the way for more software names to enter the public markets. One comp to Figma now being discussed as a potential IPO candidate in late 2025 is Canva<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Looking ahead, traditional valuation models may not apply to Figma. It has captured the attention of traders and is expected to see extreme volatility<\/strong> over the next 30 days.<\/p>\n The last IPO to experience this level of enthusiasm was Circle Internet Group (CRCL)<\/strong>, which traded more than 250% above its Day One close by its eleventh trading session.<\/p>\n Ambiq Micro (AMBQ) <\/b>exceeded expectations, opening with a 58% gain.<\/p>\n The company, a pioneer in ultra-low power semiconductor solutions addressing energy challenges in general-purpose and AI edge computing, priced 4.0 million shares at $24.00. The share count was upsized by 17.6%, and pricing landed in the upper half of the range.<\/p>\n The stock surged as high as $48.43 before pulling back to close its debut session at $38.53.<\/p>\n According to channel checks, demand was strong, and the offering was multiple times oversubscribed. However, some of our sources were skeptical due to competitive pressures and a shifting business strategy. Notably, price guidance was tightly controlled in the final days before the IPO\u2014often a red flag.<\/p>\n We were negative on this deal\u2014and we were wrong.<\/b><\/p>\n Q2 flash numbers showed a revenue decline between -7.6% and -2.9%, and the company is in the early stages of a software shift. Still, strong relationships with TSMC (TSM US)<\/strong> and ASE<\/strong> supported the bullish thesis. A conservative valuation and smaller float helped drive success. Trading volume exceeded 5 million shares, representing 125% of the float.<\/p>\n Ambiq Micro hit $51.76 in its first week and closed Friday at $39.51\u2014a 64.6% gain<\/strong> from its issue price.<\/p>\n Shoulder Innovations (SI)<\/strong>, a commercial-stage medical technology company focused on shoulder surgery, debuted Thursday with a modest 4% gain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The company priced a full-size deal at $15.00, well below its initial $19\u2013$21 range. It opened at $15.60 and briefly reached $17.94 before pulling back. The stock dipped below its issue price on Day One, closing at $15.05, and declined further on Friday to $14.25.<\/p>\n In our view, investors were cautious about the company\u2019s growth relative to peers and wanted a valuation discount. We commend the underwriters for adjusting to market realities, allowing early flippers to exit with a small gain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figma (FIG) IPO Ignites the Market The Figma (FIG) IPO is one debut that investors will be talking about for a long time.
