Synopsys Inc. (ISIN US8716071076) stock closed at 415.94 dollars on September 2, 2026 on the Nasdaq, only slightly above the previous day’s level after a period of heightened volatility around its latest earnings and insider transactions according to price data compiled by a major financial portal.
Insider moves after beat-and-raise quarter
According to a report by Investing.com dated September 2, 2026, Synopsys executive chair Aart de Geus recently sold 50,416 shares of company stock over two days for total proceeds of about 21.3 million dollars, with transactions executed at weighted average prices around 419.44 dollars per share on September 1, 2026.
The same report highlights that these insider sales came shortly after Synopsys released its fiscal third quarter 2026 results, where non-GAAP earnings reached 3.91 dollars per share on revenue of 2.48 billion dollars, beating analyst expectations of 3.67 dollars per share and 2.44 billion dollars in revenue respectively, a revenue outperformance of roughly 40 million dollars in absolute terms.
Earnings growth and guidance raise support the valuation
Market commentary compiled by MarketBeat on September 2, 2026 notes that Synopsys reported 3.91 dollars in earnings per share in its most recent quarter, exceeding the 3.67 dollar consensus by 0.24 dollars, while quarterly revenue of 2.48 billion dollars came in about 40 million dollars above expectations of 2.44 billion dollars.
The same analysis points out that Synopsys’s quarterly revenue was up 42.4 percent compared with the same quarter a year earlier, when revenue was lower and earnings per share stood at 3.39 dollars, illustrating how the company is currently growing revenue at a double digit rate while expanding profitability versus the prior year.
Following these results, Synopsys raised its full year fiscal 2026 guidance, now targeting non-GAAP earnings per share of between 15.04 and 15.10 dollars according to the Investing.com report, which is higher than the previously communicated range and underlines management’s confidence in continued demand for its software and semiconductor design tools.

Analyst view and stock performance context
Analyst sentiment compiled by MarketBeat remains positive, with the stock described as a Moderate Buy and an average price target of 561.28 dollars, implying upside potential of well over 30 percent from the recent closing level around 416 dollars if these targets were to be reached according to the same September 2, 2026 summary.
Investing.com notes that Synopsys shares recently traded at 412.76 dollars and are down 11.69 percent year to date as of early September 2026, showing that despite robust earnings growth and raised guidance the stock has corrected from earlier highs, which may reflect profit taking and broader volatility in high growth technology names.
Daily price tables on Yahoo Finance indicate that Synopsys closed at 415.94 dollars on September 2, 2026, compared with 414.82 dollars on September 1, 2026 and 439.59 dollars on August 31, 2026, meaning the stock has fallen about 5.4 percent from the end of August level while still remaining comfortably above the 410 dollar intraday low seen on September 2, 2026.
EDA and semiconductor design tools as growth drivers
Synopsys Inc. derives the bulk of its revenue from electronic design automation and related software used by semiconductor manufacturers and systems companies to design increasingly complex chips and integrated systems, a market which has been expanding as artificial intelligence, high performance computing and advanced automotive electronics require more sophisticated design flows.
Investor materials on Synopsys’s corporate site highlight that the company now generates more than 7 billion dollars in annual revenue, underpinned by long term customer relationships and subscription models that provide recurring income streams, which helps to smooth earnings across cycles compared with more hardware centric semiconductor firms.
Stock level and investor perspective
