Figma, Inc., FIG

According to regulatory documents, Field unloaded 174,430 Class A shares on May 29 at a weighted average transaction price of $25.02, with individual sale prices ranging from $25.00 to $25.11. The divestment was executed via the Field 2024 GRAT Remainder Trust, with A7P Trust Company serving as the designated trustee.

This sale was conducted under a predetermined Rule 10b5-1 trading program — referred to as the “Field Diversification Plan” — that Field established in August 2025. Such arrangements enable company insiders to sell shares on a scheduled basis without concerns about trading on material non-public information.

Prior to the transaction, the trust converted its 174,430 Class B shares into an equivalent number of Class A shares, following standard procedures defined in Figma’s corporate governance documents. After completing the sale, the trust’s Class A holdings were fully liquidated.

Field maintains substantial ownership in Figma. He directly controls 37,987,566 Class B shares and has additional indirect holdings through LLL Investments LLC (14,754,517 Class B shares), the Field 2021 Descendants Trust (1,122,908 Class B shares), and the Field 2024 GRAT Remainder Trust (348,859 remaining Class B shares).

Tech Software Sector Weakness Amplified Decline

The stock’s downturn wasn’t an isolated event. On the same trading session, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) retreated 3.5%, surrendering some gains after climbing more than 25% during the previous month. Fresh anxieties surrounding AI-driven disruption have triggered some investor repositioning away from software equities.

Figma’s stock performance has been particularly challenging. FIG has cratered 79% over the trailing twelve months, with shares trading around $23 at present.

Wall Street Lowers Expectations Despite Strong Fundamentals

The analyst landscape has shifted more cautious. Stifel reduced its price objective to $25, highlighting AI-related uncertainties. Piper Sandler brought its target down to $30, emphasizing margin compression risks. RBC Capital adjusted lower to $28, focusing on valuation concerns. Oppenheimer continues to rate the stock as Perform.

Separately, activist investor Findell Capital Management has pressed Figma to streamline operations and reassess board oversight, particularly following Anthropic‘s introduction of a rival design platform.

Despite the equity’s steep decline, Figma’s operational performance remains robust. The company achieved 41% revenue expansion to $1.16 billion while maintaining gross profit margins near 80%. First-quarter revenue surged 46% on a year-over-year basis, exceeding analyst projections by $17.4 million. Company leadership attributed the strength to seat expansion and accelerating AI feature adoption.

InvestingPro analysts anticipate Figma will achieve profitability this year following recent quarters in the red.
