To own FIGS, you need to accept a consumer brand that is still investing heavily in direct to consumer reach while aiming for steadier profitability. julio, a Simply Wall St Community investor who wrote the Narrative, argues that the big picture is about margin improvement built on operating cost leverage and a focused healthcare niche.
The latest quarter shows that FIGS is currently profitable with net income of US$19.28 million in Q3 and US$53.95 million over nine months. Raised full year revenue growth guidance and a specific fourth quarter outlook sharpen the near term catalyst around execution. The main immediate risk remains execution against higher expectations.
The European Wax Center TEAMS partnership is the announcement that matters most here. TEAMS has been flagged by julio as a key lever, and this deal puts that theory into practice with a national customer that needs consistent uniforms and values function, comfort and brand alignment for its specialists.
For you as an investor, this deal tests whether FIGS can translate its healthcare focused reputation into broader professional wear while keeping its brand credible. It also puts some weight on FIGS’ ability to handle bulk orders without pressuring product quality or margins, which ties directly back to the current catalyst and execution risk story.
Based on julio’s numbers, the FIGS narrative points to a fair value of US$14.39, built on an 11.0% yearly revenue growth path and a future profit margin of 9.0%. Together these assumptions frame a business that he views as moving toward steadier profitability on a larger sales base over time.
Uncover why FIGS' fair value indicates a 35% potential downside to its current price, leaving little room for error.
One bearish twist on FIGS focuses on demand risk rather than execution. The lowest analysts were assuming only 10.6% annual revenue growth and profit margins easing to 8.0%, with earnings of about US$76.6 million by 2029. Those views were set before this earnings beat and TEAMS news, so the story may shift.
Explore 4 other FIGS fair value estimates, including one that suggests as much as 35% downside from the current price.
