On June 13, Figure Technology Solutions declined 5.13% in regular trading, trading at $26.65/share, with turnover of $27.47 million. The sell-off was triggered by the company's announcement of a $717 million acquisition of Kiavi, an AI-powered residential real estate lending platform.

Under the transaction, a joint venture between Figure and Sixth Street will acquire Kiavi's balance sheet assets. The company stated the deal adds over $7 billion in new annual first-lien loan volume to its Figure Connect marketplace and over $100 million monthly to its Democratized Prime marketplace. However, SEC filings also disclosed that Figure must pay Kiavi a $25 million termination fee if the merger fails to close.

Despite the strategic rationale, the market reacted negatively to the significant capital outlay and execution risks associated with the large-scale acquisition. Within the Consumer Finance sector, SoFi Technologies fell 2.58%, Dave Inc declined 2.92%, while Capital One rose 0.9%, American Express gained 1.5%, and Synchrony added 1.16%.
