"FIGS, Inc. (NYSE:FIGS) designs and sells scrubwear for health care professionals through a digitally native, direct-to-consumer strategy. Shares rose after the company reported quarterly results that beat expectations and raised its outlook for revenue and profits for the remainder of the year. FIGS’ revenue grew 8% due to robust customer demand for its health care apparel, supported by improving execution and normalizing industry trends. Demand for health care apparel remains largely non-discretionary and replenishment driven. The company also delivered stronger than-expected profitability, benefiting from meaningful operating leverage while continuing to invest in the business. In addition, FIGS continues to expand its three key growth initiatives: international markets, TEAMS (its enterprise and group ordering business), and retail. Internationally, the company refined its growth strategy and is targeting 60 planned markets by year-end, up from 33. Within TEAMS, FIGS continues to add talent and develop new technology solutions to support growth. In retail, the company plans to open three stores (New York, Houston, and Chicago) with further expansion anticipated into 2026."
