New York, Jan 17, 2026, 05:31 (EST) — Market closed
- Figma shares fell 6.4% Friday, closing at $29.57, hovering near the low end of their 52-week range
- Morgan Stanley lowered its price target to $48 from $65 but maintained its Equal-Weight rating
- A Form 4 filing revealed CEO Dylan Field sold shares through a pre-arranged trading plan
Figma’s stock dropped 6.4% on Friday, closing at $29.57 and staying close to its 52-week low following a tough post-IPO run for the design software company. 1
This shift is significant as the stock trades close to the bottom of a range that reaches $142.92, leaving limited space to absorb negative surprises. It also brings focus back to a familiar cocktail for recent tech IPOs: analyst downgrades, insider sell-offs, and uncertainty over demand once the initial “new listing” excitement wears off.
Heading into next week, investors will be watching closely for any easing in selling pressure—not only in FIG but also in application software, a tech sector known for sharp swings when sentiment shifts. With liquidity thin, even minor headlines could spark big moves.
Morgan Stanley cut its price target on Figma to $48 from $65 but maintained an Equal-Weight rating, according to a note reported by TheFly. The firm noted that “AI-related risks may prove less severe than initially feared,” and took a more optimistic view on application software heading into 2026. 2
A Form 4 filed Friday revealed CEO Dylan Field sold 250,000 Class A shares on Jan. 14. An affiliated entity offloaded another 62,500 shares. Both transactions occurred under a Rule 10b5-1 plan — a pre-set trading arrangement — established on Aug. 4, 2025. The shares went for prices between about $32.07 and $34.14. 3
Figma remains a standout from last year’s reopened IPO market. The company set its IPO price at $33, but shares rocketed to an $85 opening price on debut, according to Reuters. 4
U.S. markets are closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so FIG won’t see any cash trades until Tuesday. Low liquidity could lead to bigger price swings if new filings or notes drop during the break. 5
Traders are fixated on a downside risk: a surge in insider selling, additional target cuts, or a quarterly update revealing customers delaying renewals. With shares hovering close to their lows, even a small trigger could push the stock further down.
Figma’s upcoming earnings report, due mid-February, is shaping up as the next major catalyst. 6
