On July 2, Synopsys declined 3.19% in regular trading, trading at $439.76/share, with turnover of $138 million. The stock fully erased its prior session's 3.04% rebound, as broader semiconductor selling pressure continued.

On the news front, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had previously fallen nearly 8% in a single week, marking its steepest weekly decline since early April. The selloff was primarily triggered by reports that OpenAI is considering delaying its IPO, sparking market concerns over the sustainability of AI infrastructure capital expenditure. Synopsys, as the global leader in AI-driven chip design EDA solutions, is highly sensitive to AI investment cycle expectations, making it particularly vulnerable to shifts in sentiment surrounding AI spending.

It is worth noting that despite short-term headwinds, multiple institutions have recently raised their price targets on Synopsys. Piper Sandler upgraded the stock to Overweight with a $550 target, Citi maintained a Buy rating with a $610 target, and the analyst consensus target stands at approximately $570, well above current levels.
