Synopsys(US:SNPS) Globenewswire·2025-11-05 13:07Core Viewpoint - A class action lawsuit has been filed against Synopsys, Inc. for securities fraud following a significant stock drop due to potential violations of federal securities laws [1][3]. Company Overview - Synopsys, Inc. specializes in design automation software products used for designing and testing integrated circuits. Its Design IP segment, which provides pre-designed silicon components, has been the fastest-growing segment, increasing from 25% of revenue in 2022 to 31% in 2024 [4]. Financial Performance - In Q3 2025, Synopsys reported a revenue of $425.9 million for its Design IP segment, reflecting a 7.7% year-over-year decline. The net income was $242.5 million, marking a 43% year-over-year decline [6]. Customer Dynamics - The lawsuit alleges that while Synopsys claimed its customers relied on its IP to minimize integration risk, in reality, customers began requiring more customization for IP components, negatively impacting the economics of the Design IP business and threatening its business model [5]. Stock Market Reaction - Following the release of disappointing Q3 2025 results, Synopsys' stock price fell from $604.37 per share on September 9, 2025, to $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025, a decline of nearly 36% [6].
