- Lawsuit Background: The lawsuit alleges that Synopsys made materially false statements during the class period, failing to disclose that its increased focus on AI customers was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business, negatively impacting financial results.
- Investor Losses: As the true details emerged, investors suffered damages, with the lawsuit highlighting that the company's positive statements about its business and prospects were materially misleading and lacked a reasonable basis, potentially undermining investor confidence.

Equal Weight
downgrade
$550 -> $445
Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Joe Quatrochi lowered the firm's price target on Synopsys to $445 from $550 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm notes shares returning to post Q3 EPS lows creates an easier setup. However, Wells is lowering its estimates and expects a conservative initial 2026 guide in line with the Street.
Citi analyst Kelsey Chia initiated coverage of Synopsys with a Buy rating and $580 price target. The firm believes the electronic design automation market is "emerging as the backbone" of the next growth phase of artificial intelligence. The sector is brining intelligence from software to the physical world, which should drive double-digit revenue growth with 40% operating margins, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi sees a favorable fundamental setup for Synopsys.
Outperform -> NULL
downgrade
$700 -> $600
Reason
Mizuho lowered the firm's price target on Synopsys to $600 from $700 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company's fiscal Q3 results were mixed as strength in design automation was offset by weakness in the intellectual property segment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that while fiscal 2026 is a transition year for Synopsys with the Ansys acquisition and IP roadmap reset, it remains confident in management's ability to sustain growth in simulation while focusing on profitability and debt reduction. The stock's 36% selloff yesterday is an overreaction and presents a buying opportunity, contends Mizuho.
Outperform -> Neutral
downgrade
$670 -> $535
Reason
Outperform -> Neutral
Reason
Baird downgraded Synopsys to Neutral from Outperform with a price target of $535, down from $670. The company's fiscal Q4 outlook came in well below expectations after de-risking the intellectual property forecast, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects the company's IP growth in fiscal 2026 to be "muted." The Q4 report and lack of forward visibility create an overhang on the shares that will likely take time to clear, contends Baird.
