Movement Alert|Synopsys Rises 3.12% in Regular Trading, BNP Paribas Upgrade to Neutral Boosts Market Sentiment

Market Focus03:55

On September 25, Synopsys rose 3.12% in regular trading, trading at approximately $425.21/share, with turnover of $440 million. The move was primarily driven by BNP Paribas upgrading the stock from underperform to neutral, setting a price target of $420.

The upgrade marks the latest in a series of positive analyst actions. Morgan Stanley previously upgraded Synopsys to overweight with a $500 target, while Baird raised it to outperform with a $560 target in late August, which triggered a nearly 13% single-day rally. The consensus average rating stands at buy with a mean price target of approximately $553.90, well above current levels.

Fundamentally, Synopsys delivered a strong fiscal Q3 with revenue of $2.48 billion, up 42% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $3.91, both exceeding estimates. The company raised full-year guidance to revenue of $9.69–$9.74 billion and adjusted EPS of $15.04–$15.10. Management highlighted accelerating double-digit EDA growth and emerging Ansys synergies, while dismissing concerns that AI large models could disrupt the EDA industry, asserting AI would instead drive greater software demand.
