James Schneider has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including his view that Synopsys is well positioned for a solid upcoming quarter with revenue likely above the midpoint of guidance and high single‑digit sequential growth. He emphasizes that the company appears relatively shielded from AI-related disruption in software and instead stands to benefit from expanding custom chip design demand and broader semiconductor industry growth.

Schneider also points to improving trends in core EDA tools, a gradual recovery in the IP business expected to become more visible in the second half of FY26, and prospective cost and revenue synergies from the Ansys acquisition that could support earnings over time. While acknowledging that AI concerns and debate about growth and synergies may impact the multiple, he sees these dynamics as manageable and maintains an unchanged $600 price target, reflecting confidence in Synopsys’s long‑term growth drivers and financial outlook.

Schneider covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Broadcom, Nvidia, and Accenture. According to TipRanks, Schneider has an average return of 30.8% and a 67.36% success rate on recommended stocks.

In another report released on May 13, Citi also assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a $600.00 price target.
