Synopsys Inc. (ISIN US8716071076) was trading at EUR 455.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 12:14 p.m. CEST, 0.16 percent above the Xetra close of October 9, 2026 at EUR 455.00. On October 5, 2026, Synopsys entered a USD 1 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement, while Synopsys stock traded at EUR 455.75 versus EUR 455.00.

Buyback sets the latest milestone

According to Synopsys on October 5, 2026, the accelerated repurchase agreement covers USD 1 billion of shares and delivered an initial 1,735,000 shares. Any remaining settlement is due on or before January 5, 2027, with the final share count based on the average daily volume-weighted average price during the repurchase period.

The structure gives the capital-return plan a defined near-term size but leaves the final number of retired shares sensitive to the stock's trading level. That distinction matters because the initial delivery is fixed, while the final settlement depends on the average price and a discount.

Three dated milestones carry the story

On August 26, 2026, Synopsys reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 2.48 billion, up 42.40 percent year over year, and adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.91, according to Yahoo Finance.

On September 30, 2026, Synopsys set fiscal 2027 revenue guidance at USD 11.10 billion to USD 11.20 billion and targeted a 44.00 percent non-GAAP operating margin.

On October 5, 2026, the company announced the USD 1 billion repurchase and the 1,735,000-share initial delivery, making the buyback the latest dated corporate action in this sequence.

What does the buyback change?

The immediate financial effect is a planned reduction in shares outstanding, but the first delivery alone does not determine the final reduction. Synopsys also linked its longer-term framework to returning up to 50.00 percent of free cash flow through repurchases, according to the September 30 investor-day release.

The operating backdrop is already quantified. Fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 2.48 billion was 42.40 percent higher than a year earlier, while fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of USD 11.10 billion to USD 11.20 billion sets a forward benchmark above the latest quarterly run rate.

Two dates frame the next steps

The ASR is scheduled for settlement by January 5, 2027, according to the October 5 company release. Synopsys' fiscal 2027 guidance runs through October 31, 2027, the year-end date stated in the investor-day financial targets.
