Figure Technology Solutions Inc

At the Goldman Sachs conference Figure announced it is shifting from direct lending to a blockchain-based capital markets platform focused on tokenized assets and Figure Connect. Figure Connect already accounts for 65% of volume and is expected to reach 70% in the near term, while take rates are falling and the model is becoming more capital-efficient. The acquisition of Kiavi (around $537 million) expands the product range to fix-and-flip and DSCR loans; Figure expects an EBITDA contribution of about $100 million and payback in under four years. Management highlights significant cost advantages, strong revenue and margin performance (adjusted EBITDA margin 55% in Q2 2024), and plans to expand into auto and SMB lending through tokenization and partnerships. » Altro su de.investing.com

BofA Securities raised its rating for Figure Technology Solutions from “Underperform” to “Neutral” and increased the price target from $31 to $49. The bank cites raising the applied P/E multiple from 17.5 to 25 and improved revenue growth forecasts through 2028 as reasons for the upgrade. Drivers include the rapid expansion of Figure Connect, which accounted for 65% of total volume in Q2/2026 and grew volume year-over-year by 132%. Analyst sentiment is shifting strongly toward buy recommendations, the stock is trading higher in premarket trading and remains well below its 52-week high. » Altro su de.investing.com

Figure reported adjusted EPS of $0.35 in Q2 2026 versus consensus $0.19 and revenue of $225.59 million.

Management raised the medium-term target for Figure Connect to around 70% and guided Q3 volume of $4.8–5.2 billion, but expects the take rate to be at the lower end of the range in the near term.
