No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 15 Sept 2025.
Headquartered in Mountain View, United States, Synopsys Inc belongs to the Technology sector and traces its origins to 1986. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 66 filings were filed, from 20 insiders.
The flow runs one way only: 10 sales worth €26.4M, from 4 insiders, and no purchase. The totals do not cover 1 filing with an undisclosed amount. Biggest ticket of the year: €9.6M, sold by De Geus Aart and made public on 31 August 2026 (0.013% of market cap).
With 66 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,816 companies we follow on the same exchange. Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 2 purchases and 25 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 October 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 7.05 bn USD and net income at 1.33 bn USD.
The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 1 day. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Core Scientific, Inc./tx and Gitlab Inc. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.

Synopsys Inc. (ticker: SNPS) is listed on the Nasdaq market in the United States and is one of the most important technology names in the semiconductor design ecosystem. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, the company has evolved from a logic-synthesis pioneer into a broad engineering-solutions platform spanning semiconductor design software, semiconductor IP, and, following the July 2025 closing of the Ansys acquisition, simulation and analysis. In strategic terms, Synopsys now positions itself as a “silicon to systems” provider rather than a pure-play EDA vendor.
The company reports through two core segments: Design Automation and Design IP. Design Automation includes electronic design automation software, advanced silicon design and verification tools, and, after the Ansys transaction, multiphysics simulation and system-analysis capabilities. Design IP covers logic libraries, embedded memories, wired and memory interface IP, security IP, embedded processors, IP subsystems, and implementation services. This portfolio is highly relevant to semiconductor companies, chip designers, and system developers that need to shorten design cycles, improve power/performance/area outcomes, and reduce engineering risk.
From a competitive standpoint, Synopsys is widely regarded as a global leader in EDA and a top-tier supplier of interface and foundation IP. Its market position benefits from deep customer relationships, a large R&D budget, and exposure to structural growth drivers such as AI, advanced packaging, high-performance computing, automotive electronics, and increasingly complex industrial and aerospace systems. The Ansys acquisition materially broadens Synopsys’ addressable market and strengthens its ability to offer integrated electronic-physical design workflows. The company serves customers globally, with a strong presence across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Recent developments have been especially important. Synopsys completed the acquisition of Ansys in July 2025, announced its first integrated capabilities for the first half of 2026, and has continued to highlight AI-enabled design flows and next-generation engineering tools. In 2026, management emphasized the combined company’s roadmap, including AI-driven capabilities and deeper integration across semiconductor and system-level design. Synopsys also remains active in partnerships across the semiconductor value chain, reinforcing its strategic relevance in advanced-node design and AI infrastructure. For investors, SNPS remains a high-quality structural growth story on the Nasdaq, in the United States, with a business model anchored in mission-critical software and intellectual property.
