Most Popular Narrative: 29% Overvalued

Figma's last close at $28.82 compares with a narrative fair value of $22.36. This frames the stock as pricing in a richer future than that estimate implies.

The platform thesis is getting stronger. Code Layers, Figma Make, MCP integrations, Motion, Shaders and the Figma agent are moving Figma beyond being purely a design tool. The canvas is slowly becoming a shared operating layer between design, product and engineering. One large technology customer now reportedly has more Figma seats held by engineers than designers. That is a subtle but important shift. Figma is not only expanding what existing designers can do; it is expanding who the product is for.
