Topics
Ed Elson: 我认为Figma的IPO是一个非常棒的故事。首先,今年看到的IPO公司基本面都不太好,真正的好公司都选择保持私有。但是Figma不一样,它是一家高质量、高价值、具有长期前景的公司,基本面和产品都很出色,我个人非常想投资。Figma是一款非常流行的设计工具,被广泛应用于构建网站、应用程序和各种数字产品,深受开发者喜爱。Figma的财务状况稳健,收入增长迅速,利润可观,客户忠诚度高。Figma的运营效率高,资金消耗少,市场份额大,甚至超越了Adobe。我认为Figma的IPO得益于反垄断监管,阻止了Adobe的收购,为普通投资者提供了投资机会。如果Adobe收购了Figma,投资者将不得不支付高额收购溢价,而且Adobe可能无法充分释放Figma的价值。Figma在收购被取消后增加了研发投入,并积极投资于人工智能,这推动了其收入的增长。我认为Figma作为Adobe的子公司可能无法像现在这样大胆创新和快速发展。总而言之,Figma的IPO对公司、创始人、反垄断机构和散户投资者都是一个好消息,因为它提供了一个以合理价格投资优秀公司的机会。我对Figma的IPO持乐观态度,认为它代表了美国IPO应该有的样子。
