Check out other analyst stock ratings. Management indicated that drivers of the quarter's results were broad-based, including seat expansion, retention, enterprise adoption, new user growth and AI credit monetization, he added. NRR (net revenue retention) reached 139% in the quarter, the highest level in two years, the analyst stated. He further noted that growth in customers contributing more than $10,000 in ARR (annual recurring revenues) accelerated around 500 basis points (bps) to 37% year-on-year, and customers with more than $100,000 ARR accelerated 200 bps to 48%. Figma's ( FIG ) paid customer count grew 54% year-on-year to around 690,000, which is an "underappreciated" figure, as it highlights the company's success in converting free customers to paid subscribers, the analyst said. What was more impressive was management's 2026 outlook, which was raised to 35% from their prior projection of 30%, Altmann stated. He added, however, that there is uncertainty around the extent of upside for the rest of the year. The monetization of Figma Make, the company's AI tool that allows users to turn text prompts into interactive prototypes and apps, is tracking ahead of expectations, the analyst said. However, this is driven by recent pricing and packaging changes, and "we look for better evidence around the magnitude and durability of AI revenue," he further wrote.
