Announces Plan for September 2026 Investor Day
Results Summary
"Synopsys delivered a strong second quarter with solid execution and strength across the business," said Sassine Ghazi, Synopsys president and CEO. "AI is scaling semiconductor demand, architectural diversity and complexity of chips and the systems they power - driving demand across our portfolio. Our momentum, leadership roadmap, and deep customer engagements are a strong foundation for sustained growth and margin expansion as we solve our customers' toughest engineering challenges."
"Second quarter revenue and non-GAAP EPS exceeded guidance. Our continued focus on execution and financial discipline sets us up for a strong second half," said Shelagh Glaser, CFO of Synopsys. "We are raising our targets for revenue, operating margin, EPS, and free cash flow for the year, as we drive greater efficiency across the business."
The company plans to host an Investor Day on Sept. 30, during which management will provide additional detail regarding the company's long-term financial targets and strategy to capitalize on its sizable opportunity as the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems.

Business Segments
Synopsys reports revenue and operating income in two segments: (1) Design Automation, which includes our advanced silicon design, verification products and services, Ansys products, system integration products and services, digital, custom and field programmable gate array IC design software, verification software and hardware products, manufacturing software products and other; and (2) Design IP, which includes our logic libraries, embedded memories, wired interface IP, memory interface IP, security IP, and embedded processors.
Financial Targets
Synopsys also provided its consolidated financial targets for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2026. These targets assume no further changes to export control restrictions or the current U.S. government "Entity List" restrictions.

Results Summary
-
Synopsys headquarters
- - Quarterly revenue of $2.276 billion, above prior guidance; quarterly GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.09, and non-GAAP EPS of $3.35
- - Raising expectations for full-year total revenue to $9.665 billion at the midpoint, driven by strong performance across the business and an EPS-neutral Ansys channel-related accounting impact, partly offset by the impending close of the Processor IP Solutions business
- - Raising full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance to $14.76 at the midpoint on expanded operating margin driven by strong cost discipline and accelerating synergies
