SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2026, 11:58 PDT.
Figma Inc plans to post its first-quarter 2026 earnings on May 14, giving investors a look at how the design software player is holding up as AI-fueled competitors ramp up the pressure. Results are coming after the closing bell, with a conference call scheduled for later that day.
Timing is a factor here. This week, software stocks have faced renewed selling as investors consider if emerging AI tools might start replacing tasks typically done within standard software—a move denting shares across the industry.
Figma finds itself right at that dividing line. Just last week, Anthropic introduced Claude Design—an experimental tool giving its chatbot the power to produce prototypes, slide decks, and single-page docs. Adobe? It’s pushing forward, too, with fresh AI offerings and a $25 billion stock buyback announced this week, as the creative software rivalry ramps up.
A fresh proxy brings a twist to Figma’s governance. The company said director Mamoon Hamid won’t seek re-election at the June 2 annual meeting. Also in the filing: Mike Krieger, Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer, resigned from both the board and the compensation committee, effective April 14.
Figma’s recent figures paint a solid picture going into the report. Back in February, the company projected 2026 revenue between $1.366 billion and $1.374 billion, topping analysts’ $1.29 billion call. Fourth-quarter revenue jumped 40%, hitting $303.8 million, while full-year revenue rose 41% to $1.056 billion.
“2025 was a massive year for Figma, and the fourth quarter was our best quarter yet,” Chief Executive Dylan Field said in the February earnings release. Chief Financial Officer Praveer Melwani told Reuters the company’s view is that “as AI gets better, Figma gets better.” Figma Investor Relations
Figma is aiming to convert its AI features into more paying customers. Back in February, Melwani told Reuters that the company planned to start capping usage for users who go heavy on AI, charging them for extra credits beyond what’s bundled in their standard plans. That means a hybrid setup: customers pay more if they exceed the AI allowance.
Wall Street’s nerves haven’t settled yet. UBS Global Wealth Management strategist Kiran Ganesh flagged the “bifurcation within tech and within AI” as a key force for markets this day, pointing to IBM and ServiceNow earnings that stoked fresh disruption concerns across the software sector. Reuters
It’s not tough to see the risks. Figma’s annual report flagged concerns about “AI-driven companies and tools” that might shrink the need for human designers by generating work or code from prompts, and noted competition, pricing, or tweaks to its billing model could hit growth or margins.

Control isn’t loosening. Figma’s proxy shows CEO Dylan Field holds 72.3% of total voting power—he’s got Class B shares plus proxy rights. That concentration keeps Figma in the “controlled company” bracket under NYSE rules, which eases certain board-independence demands. Securities and Exchange Commission
Two key dates are coming up: Figma reports first-quarter results and guidance on May 14, then shareholders cast their vote on the board slate June 2. Both could draw scrutiny, with AI rivals pushing further into software and design.
