⚡ Quantum Brief
Figma’s stock surged 13.1% on February 10, 2026, after Wall Street analysts called the broader software sell-off overdone, reversing weeks of declines tied to AI disruption fears. JPMorgan Chase urged investors to buy high-quality software stocks resistant to AI, naming Microsoft and CrowdStrike, while Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon labeled the sector’s drop “too broad.” Figma, down over 85% from its peak, became a speculative rebound target despite lingering concerns about AI tools like Claude Cowork disrupting its design-software dominance. The company’s upcoming Q4 earnings report on February 18 will be pivotal, with analysts expecting $293.2M in revenue and $0.06 EPS, alongside scrutiny of AI’s competitive impact. Investors are betting on Figma’s resilience after two strong post-IPO earnings reports, though its long-term viability hinges on proving AI won’t erode its 85.7% gross margins.

By Jeremy Bowman – Feb 10, 2026 at 1:16PM ESTKey PointsComments from JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs said the software sell-off was overdone.Figma has plunged in recent weeks in part on concerns about AI disruption.The stock is likely to move significantly following its earnings report next Wednesday. These 10 Stocks Could Mint the Next Wave of Millionaires ›NYSE: FIGFigmaMarket Cap$11BToday's Changeangle-down(9.08%) $2.01Current Price$24.14Price as of February 10, 2026 at 1:44 PM ETA rebound in software stocks was good news for Figma.Shares of Figma (FIG +9.08%) were moving higher today, recovering after a brutal sell-off across the software sector that hit the design-software specialist particularly hard. There was no company-specific news out on Figma, but some Wall Street titans pushed back on the software rout, and that seemed to be enough to trigger the rebound in Figma. As of 12:27 p.m. ET, the stock was up 13.1% on the wave of bullishness. Image source: Figma. Is the software sell-off overdone? This morning, JPMorgan Chase put out a note saying that the plunge in software stocks is an opportunity, rather than a warning, and encouraged investors to buy higher-quality software stocks that are resistant to AI, citing Microsoft and CrowdStrike among its picks. Also, this morning, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said that the software sell-off was "overdone" and "too broad." Those calls helped lift software stocks for the third day in a row, including Figma. Figma might not be the kind of rock-solid stock that Microsoft or CrowdStrike are, but the stock has plunged so low, down more than 85% at one point, that investors seem to see it as a buying opportunity.

Figma has had a pair of earnings reports since it went public last July, and it delivered strong results both times. The company will report fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 18, and the stock is likely to swing following the news. Analysts are expecting $293.2 million in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of $0.06. Investors are likely to parse the report closely for any details on the impact of AI competition, which could be as meaningful as the numbers themselves.
