Baron Funds made the following comment about FIGS, Inc. (NYSE:FIGS) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Within our Disruptive Growth group, some companies depreciated in value. New position FIGS, Inc. (NYSE:FIGS) declined about 15%. The relatively new direct-to-consumer producer of health care apparel has declined along with the broader group of young, high-growth, publicly traded companies. Investors have continued to shun newer business models that they perceive to be riskier. The company has declined over 80% from its highs achieved in late 2021. The recent volatility created an opportunity for us to initiate and build a position in a company that we believe can continue to grow revenue above 20% annually while also expanding margins. Its superior product is competing against brands that lack investment capabilities to improve their offerings. We believe Figs could command a meaningful share of the $79 billion global health care apparel market and eventually develop products for other professions.”
