Core Viewpoint - A class action lawsuit has been filed against Synopsys, Inc. and certain senior executives for securities fraud following a significant stock drop due to potential violations of federal securities laws [2][4]. Company Overview - Synopsys, Inc. provides design automation software products used for designing and testing integrated circuits. Its Design IP segment, which supplies pre-designed silicon components to semiconductor companies, has been the fastest-growing segment, increasing from 25% of revenue in 2022 to 31% in 2024 [5]. Allegations and Business Impact - The lawsuit alleges that Synopsys misled investors by claiming that customers relied on its IP to minimize integration risk and that the company was experiencing strength in Europe and South Korea. In reality, customers began requiring more customization for IP components, negatively impacting the economics of the Design IP business and threatening its business model [6]. Financial Performance and Stock Reaction - On September 9, 2025, Synopsys reported Q3 2025 financial results, indicating that its Design IP segment revenue was $425.9 million, a 7.7% year-over-year decline, and net income was $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline. The company acknowledged that increased customization demands from customers were prolonging project timelines and requiring more resources. This revelation led to a stock price drop of $217.59 per share, nearly 36%, from $604.37 to $387.78 on September 10, 2025 [7].
