Investment Thesis
Figure Private Credit offers exposure to America's private lending market through tokenized real estate credit and auto loans, targeting the $18.9 trillion U.S. home equity market plus the $1.6 trillion auto market. With $21B+ loan originations and 70% market share in RWA private credit tokenization, Figure leads the U.S. private lending sector. The stock's resilience during the March 10 lock-up expiration, when 185 million shares became freely tradeable but FIGR surged 21% to $40, demonstrated strong institutional confidence. Tudor Investment, Lunate Capital (680K shares), and Mithril II (862K shares) acquired new positions in March 2026. February operating data reinforced momentum: marketplace volume hit $896M (+127% YoY), YLDS grew to $588M (+56% MoM from $377M in January), and Democratized Prime matched offers reached $369M (up from $253M in January). Provenance blockchain TVL hit $1.2B ATH with annualized fees of $3.84M and 30-day DEX volume of $2.08B. ALTRUVO auto loan platform onboarding began in March 2026 with Agora Data. On the risk side, Goldman Sachs cut its target from $49 to $39, and Mizuho also cut its target while maintaining Buy. Insider selling totaled -$15.76M net over 90 days, including Director Sachin Jaitly selling $7.3M on March 10. The FIGR_HELOC token continues to trade near $1.03 with a large market cap but limited secondary market liquidity for the token itself. The $200M buyback program authorized February 26 provides a potential price floor. Q1 2026 earnings in late April will be a critical test of whether accelerating momentum continues.
