Synopsys expects non-GAAP earnings per share between $3.27 and $3.32. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings is pinned at $3.29 per share, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 3.8%.
The company anticipates revenues between $1.614 billion and $1.644 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.63 billion, which suggests growth of 2.1% from the year-ago period's reported figure.
In the trailing four quarters, SNPS’ earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice while missing the same on one occasion, with an average surprise of 2.9%.
Synopsys’ fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have reflected benefits from the escalating demand for its extensive product portfolio. The urgent need for high-performance cloud computing, propelled by the evolving hybrid work environment, is anticipated to have boosted demand for the company's Intellectual Property (IP) solutions, such as the industry’s first complete UCIe IP solution operating at up to 40 Gbps per pin to meet the high compute demands of the fastest artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
Increased adoption of Synopsys.ai among chip manufacturers and vendors is anticipated to have boosted top-line growth during the reported quarter. Additionally, the long-term collaboration with TSMC aimed to deliver advanced EDA and IP solutions on TSMC’s most advanced process and 3DFabric technologies to accelerate innovation for AI and multi-die designs is expected to have been a major positive.
The surge in global design activity and heightened user engagement are expected to have significantly driven SNPS’ performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. Growing adoption of its interface and foundation IP solutions, along with contract wins and the use of the Fusion Platform, including the Fusion Compiler, is anticipated to have positively impacted SNPS’ fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
The increasing use of AI, IoT, 5G and cloud technology is likely to have driven demand for Synopsys’ solutions in the fiscal fourth quarter. Additionally, robust design investments in Synopsys’ ARC processors by automotive companies, as well as the strong adoption of security solutions for interfaces like CXL, PCI Express and DDR, are likely to aid its fourth-quarter results.
However, rising competition from companies, such as Cadence Design Systems, might have posed challenges for Synopsys. Moreover, tightening budgets among corporations due to ongoing macroeconomic challenges and unfavorable currency exchange rates are expected to have partially offset the positive impacts of the aforementioned growth factors
