Figma's stock surged 5.12% in pre-market trading on Monday, continuing its recent positive momentum.

The movement follows activist investor Findell Capital Management urging Figma's board to conduct a governance review and reassess its relationship with Amazon-backed Anthropic. This comes after the launch of Claude Design, a product that directly competes with Figma, raising concerns about potential improper use of confidential information.

Additionally, the AI application software sector is seeing funds rotating from upstream hardware into application-layer companies, benefiting names like Figma. The company's strong first-quarter earnings, featuring 46% year-over-year revenue growth and raised full-year guidance, combined with the imminent launch of its AI Agent feature to paid users, have bolstered AI monetization expectations and provided fundamental support for the stock's upward trajectory.
