On July 1, Synopsys rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $462.65/share, with turnover of $137 million. The rebound follows a semiconductor sector recovery after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index posted its steepest weekly decline since early April, falling nearly 8% the prior week on concerns over AI infrastructure spending sustainability.

On the catalyst front, ON Semiconductor previously announced its acquisition of Synopsys to accelerate its physical AI strategy, with the transaction expected to close by mid-next year, providing merger premium support to the stock. The deal is projected to generate $200 million in annual synergies within 18 months of closing.

Meanwhile, multiple institutions have recently raised their price targets on Synopsys. Piper Sandler upgraded the stock to Overweight with a $550 target, Citi maintained its Buy rating while lifting its target to $610, and Rothschild & Co Redburn maintained Buy with a $560 target. The analyst consensus target stands at approximately $570, well above the current trading level.
