Synopsys Inc24/7 Wall St. issued a Buy rating with a $490.29 price target on Synopsys, an analyst valuation call.

24/7 Wall St. issued a buy recommendation on Synopsys with a $490.29 price target, about 27.36% above the recent quote of $400.70, citing AI-driven chip design complexity. The firm reported 90% confidence in the call even as Synopsys shares have fallen 14.69% year to date and 16.54% over the past year, within a 52-week range of $362.55 to $539.48. In Q3 FY2026, Synopsys revenue reached $2.48 billion, up 42.4% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS came in at $3.91 versus $3.67 consensus, while management raised full-year revenue guidance to $9.69 billion to $9.74 billion and non-GAAP EPS guidance to $15.04 to $15.10. CEO Sassine Ghazi said AI is driving unprecedented complexity and increasing demand for silicon IP and engineering solutions, and the company logged more than 30 full-flow technical wins in a single quarter with agentic EDA being evaluated by 20 customers across more than 25 specialized AI agents. Synopsys carries an $11 billion backlog, the Ansys deal carries a reiterated $400 million revenue synergy target, and long-term debt jumped to $13.46 billion after Ansys, with GAAP profitability compressed by roughly $404 million per quarter of intangible amortization. Synopsys trades at roughly 28x forward earnings versus 30x for Cadence Design Systems, which has a $77.9 billion market cap and an analyst target of $402.12, while Broadcom trades at 19x forward earnings with a $1.71 trillion market cap and 85.5% quarterly revenue growth. The Street's average analyst target sits at $545.93, and the September 30 Investor Day could confirm Ansys synergy timing and agentic EDA monetization.
