The lawsuit accuses the chip-design software maker of hiding how AI-focused customization hurt its Design IP economics.
Overview
- Lead-plaintiff motions are due December 30, 2025, as multiple investor-rights firms, including Rosen, Faruqi & Faruqi, DJS Law Group, and ClaimsFiler/Kahn Swick & Foti, urge shareholders to come forward.
- The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California as Kim v. Synopsys, Inc., No. 25-cv-09410, and no class has been certified.

- The complaint ties the claims to September 9, 2025 results showing revenue of $1.740 billion, net income of $242.5 million (down 43% year over year), Design IP revenue of $426.6 million (down 7.7%), and a 35.8% stock drop the next day.
