Synopsys - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Synopsys
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Synopsys, Inc.:

The company has a consensus target price of $641.82, which is substantially higher than the current stock price of $522.53. This indicates a potential for growth, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
Institutional investors own 85.47% of Synopsys, Inc.'s stock, which often reflects confidence in the company's stability and growth prospects. High institutional ownership can lead to more informed decision-making and stability in stock performance.
Recent reports indicate that Synopsys, Inc. operates in a growing sector of electronic design automation, which is critical for the development of integrated circuits. This positions the company well for future demand as technology continues to advance.

Synopsys
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Synopsys, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has recently traded down 1.1%, which may indicate short-term volatility and could be a concern for risk-averse investors.
Insider selling has been observed, with a significant sale by the Chief Revenue Officer, who sold over 20,000 shares. This could raise concerns about the executives' confidence in the company's future performance.
Despite the positive ratings, one analyst has issued a hold rating, suggesting that not all market participants are convinced of the stock's immediate upside potential.
The company has a relatively high PE ratio of 35.99, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings. High valuations can lead to increased risk if the company fails to meet growth expectations.
Market fluctuations and economic uncertainties can impact the technology sector, including companies like Synopsys, Inc., which may lead to unpredictable stock performance.
