Figma and IBM: Revenue Growth Trends for a Young Design Company vs. an AI Tech Giant
This article compares the revenue growth trends of Figma (NYSE:FIG), a young software design company, with those of International Business Machines (IBM) (NYSE:IBM), a veteran in artificial intelligence technology. Figma has shown consistent quarterly revenue increases and reported $333.4 million for Q1 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 46%. In contrast, IBM's sales have been more volatile due to its reliance on hardware and consulting services. IBM recently faced a shortfall in preliminary results during the second quarter of 2026 amid an AI boom. Its ZSystems mainframes saw a significant drop in demand compared to last year, contributing to investor concerns that pushed shares to a 52-week low. Figma's stock also hit a 52-week low earlier due to fears about AI-generated images impacting its business; however, the company’s strong revenue growth suggests these fears are unfounded.
