Synopsys (SNPS) Stock

EU antitrust regulators are expected to approve Synopsys' $35 billion purchase of Ansys, a chip design software company, after Synopsys agreed to sell two assets. This information comes from sources familiar with the situation. The approval is likely to happen soon.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys has released a statement regarding the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) recent Phase 1 findings on its planned acquisition of Ansys. The company noted that the CMA's Phase 1 announcement is a normal part of the regulatory review process in the UK.

The UK's competition authority announced on Friday that it might allow Synopsys to buy Ansys for $35 billion if the regulator's issues are addressed.

Synopsys has introduced its Ultra Ethernet and UALink IP solutions, designed to support high-bandwidth and low-latency connections for AI accelerators. The Ultra Ethernet IP can provide up to 1.6 Tbps of bandwidth, connecting as many as one million endpoints, while UALink IP can achieve 200 Gbps throughput per lane for up to 1,024 accelerators. Major companies like AMD and Juniper Networks are partnering with Synopsys to enhance the high-performance computing and AI accelerator ecosystem.

Synopsys, a company that creates chip design software, has proposed solutions to resolve the European Union's antitrust worries regarding its $35 billion purchase of engineering software company Ansys, as stated in a filing by the European Commission on Tuesday.

The recent decline in Synopsys' stock price is reasonable because their FY25 guidance was not as strong as anticipated, which affects the long-term outlook and limits growth potential. While Synopsys is still a leading company in the EDA and IP markets, the high valuation and dilution for shareholders could threaten future profits. I have changed my rating for Synopsys to Hold because of the weaker guidance, economic uncertainties, and the chance of finding better investment opportunities later.
