What Prompted Citi’s Bullish Outlook On FIG

Citi’s bullish outlook on Figma comes nearly a month after the collaborative design platform launched an agent, making the platform legible to AI models.

The company said the feature acts as a dedicated design assistant that works directly within a team’s existing Figma file. Unlike the MCP server, the agent is built into the canvas itself, allowing users to generate and edit designs without switching contexts or completing additional setup.

Users can start a prompt from any design layer, initiate parallel prompts to try multiple ideas simultaneously, and make edits and iterate while the Figma agent does its own iterations.

Figma also reported its first-quarter (Q1) results last month, beating Wall Street expectations. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.1 on revenue of $334 million, while Wall Street expected an EPS of $0.06 on revenue of $316 million, according to Fiscal.ai data.
