Figma Q1 Earnings: Revenue Soars 46%, Stock Still Pricey

Chip Stock Investor Podcast

Last year, one of the hottest IPOs out there was Figma. And then it suddenly wasn't hot. It was no longer a darling, as some may call it. And then Saspocalypse happened. And it's been downhill from there. So today we're going to talk about what happened, what's changed and what needs to change, I should say, for there to be a recovery for Figma. And we're going to do that with the help of our friends over at Fiscal.ai, who are the sponsor of today's video.

You're going to see a number of charts from Fiscal in today's episode as we analyze Figma. We'll zoom in on this high-level overview of Figma's valuation from Fiscal.ai. And you can see right off the bat, even after a pretty sizable decline in the stock, it is still trading for expected next 12-month free cash flow. About 75X expected next 12-month free cash flow. So still a hefty price tag.

There are, of course, some effects of the IPO. A lot of new stock issuance is distorting that valuation. This is why, at most, we're usually very cautious about purchasing even small positions in IPOs. But let's break it down a little bit further. We'll come back to Fiscal here in just a minute.

Figma fits into this enterprise software part of the supply chain, one of the largest end markets in our supply chain. Figma is a popular software, but they do have a notable list of competitors. Adobe, of course, is one of the biggest. And if you remember, Adobe actually wanted to acquire Figma a few years ago. That didn't pan out.
