Synopsys Investors Pressed to Seek Lead Role in Securities Suit Before Dec. 30
Investors face a December 30 deadline to seek lead-plaintiff status in the pending Kim v. Synopsys case.
Overview
- The putative class action in the Northern District of California covers Synopsys securities purchased between December 4, 2024 and September 9, 2025.
- The complaint alleges Synopsys misled investors by downplaying how AI customers’ customization needs were eroding the economics of its Design IP business and undermining certain roadmap and resource decisions.
- Synopsys reported Q3 2025 revenue of $1.740 billion and net income of $242.5 million, with Design IP at about $426.6 million, a 7.7% year-over-year decline.
- Management disclosures and guidance tied to the quarter signaled IP underperformance and implied at least a 5% full‑year decline for Design IP revenue in fiscal 2025.
- The stock fell 35.8% to $387.78 on September 10, 2025, and multiple firms including Schall, DJS, Bragar Eagel & Squire, Rosen, and Bleichmar Fonti & Auld are soliciting investors while noting the class is not yet certified.
