Synopsys's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NYSE">SNPS</a>) short percent of float has risen 16.33% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.51 million shares sold short, which is 2.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Synopsys has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Synopsys's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Synopsys's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.04%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Synopsys shares are trading lower in possible sympathy with Cadence Design Systems, which issued soft FY35 guidance.

Needham analyst Charles Shi reiterated Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) with a Buy and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$225&nbsp;price target</a>.
In conjunction with Shi&#8217;s Taiwan Semiconductor note on a pro forma analysis of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43761300/intel-could-be-split-in-two-as-broadcom-and-tsmc-explore-deals-trump-white-house-resists-foreign-ownership-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">contract chipmaker&#8217;s potential acquisition</a> of Intel Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) Intel Foundry, the analyst noted through the implications for Semiconductor Capital Equipment (Semicap) and Electronic Design Automation&nbsp;(EDA) and concluded that the takeover will inevitably lead to capital efficiency, which is a long-term negative for semicap.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43708265/ciscos-ai-expansion-and-cloud-growth-drive-analyst-upgrades-and-price-hikes-citing-growth-like-extreme-juniper" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cisco&#8217;s AI Expansion and Cloud Growth Drive Analyst Upgrades And Price Hikes, Citing Growth Like Extreme &amp; Juniper</a>
Also, post-closing, the Taiwanese chipmaker will likely pursue capital expenditure synergies to improve Intel Foundry&#8217;s cash flow and maximize equipment reuse, especially in lithography, process control, hybrid bonding, and potential cancellation of specific programs such as high-NA EUV.
Post-closing, Taiwan Semiconductor will likely cancel specific Intel Foundry programs, such as building its own EDA/IP ecosystem, which could reduce IP purchases from EDA companies.
The analyst notes that Taiwan Semiconductor will migrate Intel Products onto the Taiwanese contract chipmaker&#8217;s processes starting from 14A node. A majority of the Intel Foundry fabs will become &#8220;orphan&#8221; fabs, which will eventually be sold by Taiwan Semiconductor, resulting in reduced demand for mature-node semicap equipment.
Overall, Shi noted that Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s taking over Intel Foundry may be a net negative for the small-cap and EDA industries, at least in the near—to medium-term.
The analyst writes that if the takeover materialized, ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>), Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) would feel more near-term pain than peers.
Shi noted that Intel&#8217;s aggressively pushing high-NA EUV program may be canceled or scaled back, given Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s lack of interest in high-NA and the technical limitations of high-NA EUV in printing large dies essential for AI chips.
This is a direct negative to ASML, which depends more on the pricing uplift of high NA EUV to generate top-line growth as overall litho intensity plateaus.
The analyst noted Taiwan Semiconductor will be unable to backfill Intel Foundry&#8217;s old fabs with its volume due to significant process and toolset differences. Instead, Taiwan Semiconductor may reuse Intel Foundry tools when the tool configurations are standardized and not customized.
Shi noted an excellent opportunity for Taiwan Semiconductor to reuse Intel&#8217;s existing lithography and process control equipment fleet, as those tools are rarely customized to a specific customer.
This is a direct negative read for ASML and KLA Corp, which shipped a decent volume to Intel during the Intel IDM 2.0 era.
The EDA industry benefited from Intel Foundry over the past two years as Intel ramped up spending on its foundry ecosystem, especially on building an IP ecosystem that allows customers to easily port designs from Taiwan Semiconductor to Intel Foundry.
Intel&#8217;s significant investment in creating a baseline IP ecosystem has juiced up Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems&#8217; IP revenue growth.
However, if Taiwan Semiconductor takes over Intel Foundry, Shi noted that ecosystem spending will likely be cut. As such, Shi noted potential downside risks to Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems&#8217; IP revenue growth in 2025 and beyond.
Price Action: TSM stock is down 0.83% at $202.21 at last check Tuesday.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Synopsys

China is looking to target U.S. tech companies in order to gain leverage in trade negotiations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43577207/trump-says-he-will-announce-reciprocal-tariffs-next-week-that-will-impact-everyone-escalating-trade-war-with-global-partners-the-only-fair-way-to-do-it">with U.S. President Donald Trump</a>.
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/china-trade-war-us-tech-03578671?mod=hp_lead_pos3">Wall Street Journal</a>, Chinese officials are building a list of U.S. tech companies that can be probed over antitrust concerns, including Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>). 
The Nvidia probe came after the Biden administration ramped up export controls on high-end semiconductors to China, and the Google probe came immediately after an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods went into effect last week.
China is also targeting Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>).
The goal is to influence tech executives who have become close to Trump as trade tensions rise.
Beijing is also mulling potential tactics in response to the tariffs that Trump has imposed on Chinese goods.

"China is on a chip-gathering exercise,&#8221; Trivium China&#8217;s Tom Nunlist told the WSJ. &#8220;They want to come to the table to negotiate and need something to play with.&#8221;
China has strengthened regulatory tools in recent years including adding an &#8220;unreliable entity list&#8221; and amending laws to tighten rules on anticompetitive acquisitions. Chinese officials reportedly aim to get the attention of some of the top tech executives who appear to be close to Trump, including those who sat next to him on Inauguration Day like Google&#8217;s Sundar Pichai and Apple&#8217;s Tim Cook. 
Chinese tech companies typically criticize Apple because of the fees it charges developers for in-app services. Apple has said its policies help ensure that the apps remain safe.
The report indicates that Chinese regulators have started taking a closer look at Apple in recent weeks as some view Apple&#8217;s fees as &#8220;unreasonably high&#8221; and believe its app rules could hurt competition.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Synopsys 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Companies exposed to artificial intelligence and accelerated computing have continued to see their end demand and visibility strengthen.
That&#8217;s according to analysts at JPMorgan. Companies exposed to consumer-facing markets like smartphones and IoT are seeing demand trends track in line with expectations, they say. Demand trends in automotive and industrial remain mixed.
The assessment comes after JPMorgan held virtual fireside chats in conjunction with the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show.
Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) management teams were featured.
In-person meetings and booth tours were also held with Analog Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>), Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Synaptics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYNA#NASDAQ">SYNA</a>), Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Skyworks Solutions, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>), and Silicon Laboratories, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLAB#NASDAQ">SLAB</a>),

Here are the key takeaways from JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur&#8217;s Jan. 10 research report:
<ul>
<li>Nvidia sees a strong demand setup for 2025 as it brings to market its Blackwell platform.</li>
<li>Marvell noted that its AI revenues are tracking significantly ahead of its prior expectations of $2.5 billion. The firm expects continued growth in 2026 </li>
<li>Synopsys&#8217; AI and accelerated compute-leading chip and system design remain strong and have a multi-year tailwind. Outside of AI, design activity continues, but at a slightly slower pace, as auto, industrial, and telco sector trends remain muted. The team continues to take a conservative view of China prudently.</li>
<li>For Analog Devices, the team anticipates sequential growth trends beyond the January quarter. </li>
<li>For Micron, the setup for the second half of 2025 remains strong. It is based on a favorable AI-driven HBM and eSSD demand backdrop combined with a cyclical recovery in non-AI segments (smartphone and PC).</li>
<li>Expect new product launches from Nvidia as well as Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).</li>
<li>Synaptics highlighted the strong design win momentum for its Astra platform, WiFi capabilities, and Bluetooth Channel Sounding feature, holding potential for new revenue and content opportunities in foldable phones and PCs.</li>
<li>Regarding Skyworks, Sur noted seasonal demand trends in its business with iPhone 16 demand trends aligning with expectations, and return to 10% average radio frequency content growth. The analyst remains selective in the Android markets with limited exposure to China OEMs.</li>
</ul>
In summary, overall demand trends align with Harlan Sur&#8217;s expectation in calendar 2025 and favored companies with leverage to AI and accelerated computing and those involved in the value chain benefiting from leading-edge chip advancements.

Nvidia, Marvell, Synopsys Demonstrate AI Leadership And Strong Chip Design Momentum: Analyst

The European Commission on Friday said it had approved under conditions the takeover by chip design software maker Synopsys <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=SNPS.O">SNPS.O</a> of software company Ansys <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=ANSS.O">ANSS.O</a>, a $35 billion cash-and-stock deal <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3E60ZE">announced</a> in January last year.
The deal would see Synopsys snap up the maker of software used in creating products from airplanes to tennis rackets of players like Novak Djokovic.
To relieve competition concerns resulting from the deal, the commission said both companies have agreed to divest Synopsys' optics and photonics software and Ansys' PowerArtist software.
