What does Synopsys Inc. do?

Synopsys is the leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software used by semiconductor companies to design and verify chips, now expanded into multiphysics simulation through its $35 billion acquisition of Ansys in 2025. The stock has been highly volatile since a cascade of analyst downgrades beginning in early February, with daily swings of 3-5% becoming routine amid debate over whether 2026 will be a growth year or a transition year. Tomorrow's Q1 earnings report is the next major test, with the company's own guidance notably above the street consensus.
