Artificial intelligence (AI) software design company Figma (FIG -0.68%) is arguably the hottest initial public offering (IPO) stock of the year so far. The stock was able to capitalize on the ongoing AI boom, increasing 250% on its debut, but it has since experienced a sharp decline.

Figma (FIG -0.36%) may not be a household name, but the company found itself in the spotlight in conjunction with its recent initial public offering (IPO). Figma's online platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), helps teams create, edit, and share ideas to design websites, apps, and other user interfaces.

Figma has been a rare bright spot in a tough software market, but its premium stock price is giving some Wall Street analysts pause.

Wall Street brokerages on Monday started their coverage of Figma with neutral ratings, as they weighed the design software maker's lofty valuation amid stiff competition against its potential for artificial intelligence-driven growth.

Figma (FIG 6.24%) recently went public via an initial public offering (IPO), and its stock had a massive day one. Originally, shares of the online design software maker sold at $33 per share, which was above the expected listing range.

Figma stock received a buy rating Wednesday in its first coverage initiation report after its initial public offering last month.

The interface design software firm Figma (NYSE:FIG) had an impressive public debut last month, with its shares climbing from the $33 IPO price on the first day to approximately $80 per share at present, resulting in a market capitalization of around $40 billion. Investors have been eager to pay a premium for the company's rapid growth, impressive retention rates, and product-led adoption tactics.
