Figma (FIG), the design software company that made headlines with its spectacular stock market debut, experienced a sharp reversal in after-hours trading on Friday. The stock plummeted 5.15% after the closing bell, marking a significant shift from its earlier performance.
This decline comes on the heels of Figma's extraordinary initial public offering (IPO) just a day earlier. The company's shares had skyrocketed 250% in their first day of trading, opening at $85 and closing at $115.50. The IPO, which was priced at $33 per share, raised more than $1.2 billion for the company and its shareholders.
The after-hours drop suggests that investors may be reassessing Figma's valuation following the initial surge. Some market analysts speculate that the dramatic price increase during the IPO might have left the stock vulnerable to a pullback. Additionally, there are concerns that Figma and its underwriters may have significantly underpriced the IPO, potentially leaving up to $3 billion on the table.
Despite the after-hours decline, Figma's market debut remains one of the most successful in recent years. The company's strong performance has been attributed to its innovative design platform and growing demand for collaborative software tools. However, as with many high-profile tech IPOs, volatility in the early trading days is not uncommon as the market seeks to establish a fair valuation for the newly public company.
