AI Design Tool Shares Surge 10%... Market Cap Increases by 1.6 Trillion Won in One Day

American collaborative design platform Figma Inc. (NASDAQ: FIG) jumped 10.59% on April 15 on the New York Stock Exchange, closing at $20.37 with trading volume exceeding 10.7 million shares. In a single day, its market capitalization rose by about $1 billion (roughly KRW 1.6 trillion), bringing its total valuation to approximately KRW 13.3 trillion. After the stock dipped near its 52-week low in the previous session, it rebounded strongly thanks to a sector-wide rally in tech and AI growth names and renewed interest from bargain hunters.

On February 18, Figma reported fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results showing revenue of $303.8 million—a 40% year-over-year increase—and an operating cash-flow margin of 13%. The combination of accelerating growth and improved profitability helped lift investor sentiment in the short term. In March, plans to introduce credit-based billing for AI feature usage and to expand paid seats came into focus, setting up a debate between optimistic revenue forecasts for 2026 and concerns over pricing regulation and intensifying competition.

Figma is a software company offering a browser-based, real-time collaborative design and prototyping tool. It went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July 2025 under the ticker FIG. After Adobe’s roughly $20 billion acquisition attempt was blocked by regulators around the world in 2022, Figma opted for an independent IPO, and co-founder Dylan Field continues to lead the company.
