Synopsys Inc. (ISIN US8716071076) entered a USD 1 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement on October 5, 2026, while its stock traded at EUR 412.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:52 a.m. CEST, 3.19 percent above the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 400.00. Synopsys said the agreement covers an aggregate repurchase of USD 1 billion.

Buyback adds a capital-return signal

The agreement initially delivers approximately 1,735,000 shares to Synopsys, with any remaining settlement due on or before January 5, 2027, according to the company release. The final number of repurchased shares will depend on average daily volume-weighted prices during the repurchase period.

The capital-return plan follows the company's September 30 Investor Day, when Synopsys presented fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of USD 11.10 billion to USD 11.20 billion. The same presentation set a midpoint GAAP operating margin of 20.7 percent and a midpoint non-GAAP operating margin of 44.0 percent, figures reported by Stifel.

What does the growth plan change?

The guidance points to a wider operating model rather than a single-quarter event. Synopsys expects fiscal 2027 operating cash flow of about USD 3.60 billion and free cash flow of about USD 3.10 billion, while its long-term framework targets a non-GAAP operating margin of about 50 percent in fiscal 2030.

Three dated company milestones

On August 26, 2026, Synopsys reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 2.48 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. On September 30, 2026, the company set fiscal 2027 revenue guidance at USD 11.10 billion to USD 11.20 billion. On October 5, 2026, it agreed to the USD 1 billion accelerated repurchase.

Dates that shape the next phase

The current fiscal year ends on October 31, 2026, and the repurchase agreement provides for final settlement on or before January 5, 2027. Those dates frame the next earnings and capital-allocation milestones.

Stock trades above the Xetra close

For investors, the immediate market signal is the 3.19 percent premium to the October 16 Xetra close, while the share price remains below the EUR 464.50 52-week high and above the EUR 318.00 low reported for the SYP.DE instrument. The primary listing is Nasdaq, where Synopsys trades under the ticker SNPS.

Synopsys stock was trading at EUR 412.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:52 a.m. CEST, 3.19 percent above the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 400.00. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Synopsys stock.
