Figma (FIG) stock surged 5.08% in Friday's trading session, continuing its impressive run since its recent initial public offering (IPO). The software firm has been riding a wave of investor enthusiasm that has characterized the current hot IPO market.
Figma's strong performance is part of a broader trend of successful tech IPOs in 2025. According to recent market data, Figma's shares skyrocketed 250% after last month's offering, making it one of the standout performers in a year marked by several high-flying debuts. Other notable IPOs include Bullish, a cryptocurrency marketplace that jumped 84% on its first day of trading, and space company Firefly, which saw a 33% increase.
Market analysts suggest that the continued interest in Figma's stock reflects the broader appetite for tech and software companies, especially those in currently red-hot industries. However, some experts caution that such dramatic post-IPO gains could be a sign of irrational exuberance in the market. Historical data shows that years with numerous offerings and significant first-day gains have often coincided with market peaks, as seen during the tech bubble of 1999-2000. As investors continue to show strong interest in Figma, market watchers will be closely monitoring whether this momentum can be sustained in the long term.
