HSBC Upgrades Synopsys (SNPS) to Buy, 'Transforming into an AI beneficiary'

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 08:31:11 -0400

HSBC analyst Stephen Bersey upgraded Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $700.00.

We roll our valuation forward to FY27e and derive our street-high TP of USD700 (from USD490) by applying a target PE multiple of 35x (previously 33x FY26e target PE) to our FY27e EPS of USD20.01. We upgrade our rating to Buy (from Hold) as we expect significant earnings upside

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 03:00:00 -0400

This chip-design software maker's Sept. 30 investor day could be an important catalyst, with Mizuho Securities expecting management to outline double-digit, potentially low-teens, revenue growth for fiscal 2027 as its Design IP business recovers and the Ansys integration adds to growth.

Mizuho rated Synopsys Inc. “outperform” and kept its $550 price target. The brokerage expects fiscal 2027 revenue growth of 10.5%, with EDA revenue up 12% and IP revenue up 13%, potentially ahead of Wall Street estimates.

It expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $9.72 billion, up 38% from a year earlier, largely reflecting the inclusion of Ansys.

Morgan Stanley upgrades Synopsys as it turns selective on chip stocks

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:26:16 -0400

Investing.com -- Morgan Stanley has upgraded Synopsys to Overweight and turned more selective on European semiconductor stocks, citing widening valuation dispersion and signs that the memory cycle is nearing a late-cycle turn.

Analyst Lee Simpson said the firm remains positive on the sector overall. "We remain constructive on semis, underpinned by strong AI demand and a broadening cycle recovery," he wrote, though he added that with memory approaching an inflection, "we turn more selective."

On Synopsys, Simpson pointed to an attractive entry point after a recent de-rating, greater confidence in synergies from its Ansys acquisition and a recovery

Morgan Stanley analyst Lee Simpson upgraded Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) from Equalweight to Overweight with a price target of $500.00.

The analyst comments: “Earlier this year we moved Synopsys to EW pending: (i) greater visibility on profitability from the integration of Ansys, (ii) a return to teens % growth in EDA and (iii) evidence that the co-design offering is as strategically important as competing platforms. We have since gained greater confidence in the synergy trajectory from the Ansys integration and in Design IP recovery. While we are yet to see a return to teens% EDA growth, we think the transition to physical

Synopsys upgrade bets on FY27 growth rebound and stronger chip-design demand

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 10:23:28 -0400

Investing.com -- Synopsys is positioned for a stronger fiscal 2027 as demand for electronic design automation and chip-design intellectual property improves, Baird said, upgrading the semiconductor software provider to Outperform and raising its price target to $560.

Baird said expectations have fallen sufficiently following a subdued fiscal 2026 that the risk-reward now favors the stock, particularly as recent results point to improving performance heading into fiscal 2027. The brokerage expects double-digit organic revenue growth next year and sees scope for revenue and free-cash-flow estimates to rise.

The company's third-quarter results provided an early indication of that recovery. Revenue rose 40% to about $2.48

Benchmark Reiterates Buy Rating on Synopsys (SNPS) Following 2H Results

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:12:08 -0400

Benchmark analyst Gary Mobley reiterated a Buy rating and $570.00 price target on Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS).

The analyst commented, "Following upside to 2H FY26 results/guide, we reiterate our Buy rating and $570 price target. Given how low the bar was for SNPS shares (e.g., shares seemingly pricing in a negative revision to est, w/shares at 24.0x prior NTM EPS, lowest in years), we are surprised to see SNPS shares trading down in the aftermarket after what should be viewed as: 1) a clean beatand-raise; and 2) validation that AI is a tailwind to EDA/simulation software, not a headwind. Clearly, the company
