Synopsys Delivers Earnings Win As US Tech Export Curbs Loom Over Industry
Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS) shares are trading higher premarket on Thursday after the company reported second-quarter 2025 after market close on Wednesday.
The company reported revenue of $1.60 billion, in line with the consensus estimate. The adjusted EPS of $3.67 beat the street view of $3.38.
Gross profit increased to $1.29 billion from $1.15 billion in the year-ago quarter, and the operating income rose to $376.4 million from $332.1 million in the prior year quarter.Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys, said, 'The mega trends of AI, software-defined systems, and silicon proliferation continue to drive our growth. These trends are increasing design complexity and costs, while also increasing compute performance and energy demands. Synopsys is a trusted partner in addressing these challenges and a leader in applying AI to help customers innovate faster.'
'In a dynamic macro environment, Synopsys continues to execute with strong Q2 results on the top and bottom line,' said Shelagh Glaser, CFO of Synopsys. 'We're poised to deliver a solid second half, and we're reaffirming our full-year revenue and operating margin guidance, reflecting our confidence in the business and continued healthy demand for our products.'
Synopsys increased its adjusted EPS guidance for FY25 to $15.11-$15.19, from the previous outlook of $14.88-$14.96. This new range surpasses the analyst consensus estimate of $14.89.
The company has, however, reaffirmed its FY2025 sales outlook at $6.75 billion-$6.80 billion, which aligns with the $6.77 billion analyst estimate.
Synopsys expects third-quarter revenue of $1.75 billion–$1.78 billion versus estimates of $1.76 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.82-$3.87 vs. consensus of $3.39.
These new targets reflect Synopsys' shift in its fiscal year definition. Previously, the fiscal year concluded on the Saturday closest to October 31st, but it will now end precisely on October 31st each year.
This change results in a shorter first half of fiscal year 2025 by ten days, compensated by an extra two days in the second half, leading to a total of eight fewer days in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.
The latest U.S. restrictions, designed to limit China's access to essential technology, are anticipated to have a notable impact on major electronic design automation (EDA) software providers Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNS) and Synopsys, which have significant exposure.
According to Reuters, the U.S. Commerce Department has informed companies about expanded controls affecting EDA software, butane and ethane chemicals, machine tools, and aviation equipment.
Addressing these reports, Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi told analysts that the company has not received a notice from the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via AXS Esoterica NextG Economy ETF (BATS:WUGI) and VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMHX).
Price Action: SNPS shares are trading higher by 2.07% to $472 premarket at last check Thursday.

The Tesla share price could skyrocket next week!
The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) share price is quite frankly hard to keep track of. One moment its down near $220, the next it's pushing towards $400. However, next week could be a big week for the company. The stock's valuation hinges not on electric vehicles (EVs), but its potential leadership in the autonomous driving space. As such, Tesla's upcoming robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, set for 12 June, has reignited debate over the company's sky-high valuation and the potential for dramatic share price swings in the coming week. The move marks Tesla's long-awaited entry into the autonomous ride-hailing market. With rivals like Waymo, Zoox, and Avride already operating in the city's tech-friendly environment, Tesla may be in danger of falling behind. At the heart of any discussion about Tesla — or any stock — is valuation. Tesla's current and forward multiples remain among the highest in the consumer discretionary sector. The company's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 180.4 times, nearly 1,000% above the sector median of 16.4 times, and even higher than its own five-year average of 115.1 times. The forward price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 8.6. That's more than four times the sector median — and remember some of these other companies will pay a dividend. This tells us that even with projected earnings growth, the stock is expensive by growth investing standards. Meanwhile the price-to-sales (P/S) and enterprise value-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) ratios tell a similar story. Tesla's forward P/S is 11.31 (sector median is 0.87), while its forward EV-to-EBITDA is 76.58 (sector median: 9.73). These metrics indicate Tesla is valued not just as a carmaker, but as a tech company with enormous anticipated future profits. The market's optimism, or overoptimism, is rooted in the robotaxi story. Tesla aims to dominate in the sector by quickly scaling its robotaxi operations globally. In theory, it's a high-margin business with strong recurring revenues. This would fundamentally alter the company's earnings profile. However, this optimism is highly speculative and contingent on overcoming significant technical, regulatory, and competitive hurdles. And that's why it's so important that Tesla impresses with its launch next week. There's also the Optimus robot. This is Tesla's humanoid robot, which like the robotaxi venture, is built around developments in artificial intelligence (AI). Optimus could also be game changing. Despite the possibilities, Tesla's valuation leaves little margin for error. And this risk is compounded by the competitive landscape in Austin. Waymo, especially, already established a presence, and its technology relies on different approaches — such as lidar and radar — compared to Tesla's camera-based system. And while Elon Musk touts Tesla's approach as more scalable and cost-effective, the company has a history of missing self-imposed deadlines on autonomy, which could test investor patience if the rollout stumbles. Personally, I want to see Tesla do well. I want companies to succeed and push the boundaries of technology. However, I believe Tesla's execution risk is considerable and the valuation hard to justify. That's why I'm watching from the sidelines.

RBC Capital Reiterated an Outperform Rating on Lyft (LYFT), Assigning a $21 PT
On June 5, RBC Capital analysts maintained an Outperform rating on Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) with a price target of $21. The analysts mentioned the current rationality in the ride-sharing space, observing identical pricing and pick-up windows for Lyft and Uber, its market rival. Lyft's revenue has demonstrated solid growth over the last year, coming in at 27%. A ridesharing passenger and driver in a car, looking out the window in anticipation of their destination. RBC reported that Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is a sector winner year-to-date, ranking fifth overall with an 18% increase, compared to the 1% boost in the Nasdaq. According to the analysts, this performance was driven by Lyft's limited tariff exposure and GenAI concerns, combined with strong execution. Another positive development commended by RBC was Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT)'s autonomous vehicle launch with May Mobility, which is on the horizon. However, the soon-to-be Tesla launch is a potential competitive risk, though analysts commented that a stock selloff related to Tesla was a buying opportunity. The analysts also highlighted Lyft's promising valuation at 7.3x its forecasted 2026 EBITDA. This valuation, paired with the company's tactical plans, was a factor that contributed to RBC's Outperform rating. Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is a leading peer-to-peer transportation company operating across the United States and Canada, offering ridesharing, shared bikes/scooters, and Express Drive rentals. While we acknowledge the potential of LYFT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
