Group 1: Market Impact - The three major EDA firms hold approximately 80% market share in China, with Synopsys generating $1 billion in revenue from China, accounting for 16% of its total revenue, and Cadence generating $550 million, accounting for 12% [3]. - Following the BIS directive, Synopsys suspended its financial guidance for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2025, halted sales and service activities in China, and prohibited Chinese customers from accessing its online support portal, resulting in a stock price drop of over 9.6% in two days [3][4]. Group 2: Domestic EDA Opportunities - Domestic EDA companies are expected to benefit from the situation due to their flexible pricing and strong policy support for domestic alternatives, leading to optimistic future development prospects [2][11]. - The integration of AI with EDA tools is seen as a potential path for domestic companies to "leapfrog" international competitors, as they can better adapt to new software and hardware frameworks without the burden of legacy technologies [9]. Group 3: Financial Performance of Domestic EDA Companies - Huada Jiutian reported a revenue of 1.222 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 20.98%, but its net profit dropped by 45.46% to 109 million yuan [7]. - Gekun Electronics achieved a total revenue of 419 million yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 27.42%, but reported a net loss of 96 million yuan [7]. Group 4: Strategic Moves and Future Plans - Huada Jiutian is actively pursuing the acquisition of Chip and Semiconductor Technology to enhance its capabilities in advanced packaging and system-level design EDA [10]. - The company aims to complete the development and market promotion of integrated circuit design tools within three years and achieve full domestic replacement of EDA tools in the design, manufacturing, and testing sectors within five years [10].
