Analyst Srini Sundararajan commented, "EDA continues to be as boring as ever, except for one thing. It has been a relatively good store of value. Prior to yesterday’s sell-off SNPS was only 0.6% off its 52 week high and now it is at 8.5% off its 52 week high. If boring is good, then EDA is the place to be."
