Figma (NYSE:FIG) has had a brutal first year as a public company, and the question on every shareholder's mind is whether the design software leader can climb back to $50 before year-end.

Figma stock price has come under intense pressure this year and is now hovering at its all-time low amid the rising concerns about its revenue growth in this artificial intelligence (AI) era. After peaking at $143 following its IPO last year, the stock has plunged to $19 today, with its market cap falling from $60 billion to $10.2 billion.
Figma's 139% retention rate is fueled by enterprise seat expansion and wider adoption, but slower hiring and spending cuts can test growth.

FIG maintains a bulletproof balance sheet with $1.6 billion in cash and no debt, supporting continued investment and margin expansion.
Figma is upgraded to a buy after a Q1 beat and raised outlook, reversing prior caution. FIG demonstrates hypergrowth with 43% y/y revenue growth, targeting over $1.4 billion in revenue this year. Retention remains robust near 140% net expansion, aided by cross-selling and upmarket customer focus.
