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.

What's next for Figma

As a design software company, there are some real questions about whether AI tools could be disruptive, though there is no evidence so far that Figma is being disrupted by new products like Claude Cowork.

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.
