Figure is partnering with Sierra, an AI firm, to deploy digital agents that can talk to customers who started but did not finish their loan applications. These agents are designed to answer questions and guide borrowers through the final steps of getting a home equity line of credit, which is a loan that lets homeowners borrow against the value of their house.
This matters because Figure's growth depends on how many loans it can process through its digital platform. If these AI agents can successfully recover even a small portion of abandoned applications without requiring human staff to step in, it could lower the cost of finding new customers and help the company maintain its high profit margins.

BofA Securities raised its rating on the company to Neutral on Wednesday. This move signals that the firm's analysts see less risk in the stock than they did before, though they are not yet ready to give it a full buy recommendation.
While the stock currently trades around $38, the average price target across all Wall Street firms is significantly higher at $65. This upgrade is a notable shift in sentiment from a major bank, suggesting that the company's recent growth in digital home equity lending is starting to win over previous skeptics.
On September 1, 2026, Figure completed its purchase of Kiavi, a lender that focuses on loans for residential property investors. Figure paid about $590 million in cash for the business, using money it raised by selling debt earlier this summer. As part of the deal, Figure took over Kiavi's technology platform and its existing loans.
This is a major step in Figure's plan to move more types of debt onto its blockchain, a digital ledger that automates how loans are tracked and traded. By adding Kiavi, Figure moves beyond home equity lines of credit and into the market for residential transition loans, which are used by investors to buy and renovate homes. If the integration goes well, this new volume should help Figure use its existing digital infrastructure more efficiently.

EDX Markets, a trading platform for large financial institutions, has integrated Figure’s digital security, known as YLDS, into its system. This means professional traders can now use these digital assets as collateral, the backup assets required to cover potential losses, while also earning a yield on them. EDX is also holding the security in its own treasury.
This is a win for Figure because it moves its blockchain-based products further into the mainstream financial plumbing. When a major clearinghouse and trading venue treats Figure’s digital securities as a reliable form of capital, it makes the platform more attractive to the large banks and credit unions Figure relies on to grow its lending volume.

Retail sales fell by 0.6 percent in July, a surprise drop after economists had expected a small gain. This is a key measure of how much people are spending on everything from cars to online shopping, and it suggests the economy might be cooling faster than many people thought.
For a company like Figure that helps people borrow against their home equity, a pullback in spending is worth watching. If consumers feel less confident or have less extra cash, they may be less likely to take out new loans, which could slow down the growth of Figure's lending marketplace.
