Figma Posts Clear AI-Driven Revenue Gains as Shares Stay Deeply Discounted

Citi’s Buy start points to seat upgrades, credit-pack uptake, MCP monetization as signs of AI revenue traction

Overview

  • Figma reported strong Q1 results showing about 46% year-over-year revenue growth to roughly $333 million and a 139% net revenue retention rate, signaling higher customer spending.
  • Citi initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $36 price target, citing customer seat upgrades and rising credit‑pack use as early evidence that AI features are monetizing.
  • The stock briefly jumped on the Citi note but the gain reversed and the shares closed lower, which traders say shows limited investor conviction behind the bullish thesis.
  • Insider stock sales disclosed in late May and early June and a scheduled mid‑August lock‑up expiry create an immediate supply risk that analysts warn could depress the share price.
  • Analysts remain split: some models see large upside if AI monetization and MCP server revenue scale, while others flag rising AI compute costs, margin pressure, and uncertain profitability as key downside risks.
