On July 13, Figure Technology Solutions declined 5.06% in regular trading, trading at approximately $30.35 per share with turnover of $22.9 million. The sell-off was driven by the company's announcement of a planned $600 million senior secured notes offering to finance the cash consideration for its acquisition of AI-powered real estate lending platform Kiavi.
The Kiavi acquisition, announced in June, carries a total purchase price of $717 million and is expected to add over $7 billion in annual first-lien volume to the Figure Connect marketplace. However, the large-scale debt issuance has intensified investor concerns about rising financial leverage. The notes will be privately placed with qualified institutional buyers, with completion subject to market conditions. Additionally, the transaction includes a termination fee of up to $25 million, adding to perceived risk.
Market sentiment has been further weighed down by Bank of America's earlier downgrade of the stock to \"underperform\" with a reduced price target, compounding near-term valuation pressure and contributing to the stock's continued adjustment from its January highs above $76.
