Figma shares tumbled 7% in extended trading after the company reported third-quarter results and guidance that surpassed Wall Street's predictions.

Here's how the company performed relative to LSEG consensus:

• Earnings per share: 10 cents adjusted vs. 5 cents expected
• Revenue: $391.4 million vs. $375.8 million expected

Figma's revenue grew about 43% year over year in the quarter, according to a statement. Net loss narrowed to $81.3 million, or 15 cents per share, compared with a loss of $1.10 billion, or $2.72 per share, a year earlier.

The company's 12% adjusted operating margin exceeded the 6.1% consensus among analysts polled by StreetAccount.

Executives lifted the full-year forecast. Figma now anticipates an 11% operating margin, up from 9% as of August, and $1.497 billion to $1.499 billion in revenue, compared with $1.463 billion to $1.467 billion before. Analysts surveyed by LSEG were looking for $1.471 billion in 2026 revenue.

The company sees fourth-quarter revenue growth slowing to about 33%. Analysts polled by LSEG had predicted 28% growth.

Figma's announcement comes a day after highly valued design software startup Canva said it would cut 22% of its employees.
