Stifel cuts Figma stock price target on AI timing concerns
Stifel reduced its price target for Figma (NYSE:FIG) to $22 from $25, citing concerns over AI timing and tougher comparisons.

Despite strong Q2 earnings and raised full-year sales outlook, the stock fell in after-hours trading due to near-term guidance concerns.
