The company anticipates revenues between $1.567 billion and $1.597 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $1.58 billion, suggesting growth of 23.3% from the year-ago period.
Synopsys expects non-GAAP earnings per share between $3.01 and $3.06. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.04 per share indicates growth of 59.2% year over year.
The software company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 4.2%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming announcement.
Synopsys’ fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the growing demand for its solid product portfolio. The continuous shift to high-performance cloud computing due to the growing hybrid working environment is expected to have aided the demand for the company’s Intellectual Property (IP) solutions, such as Peripheral Component Interconnect Express 5.0 & 6.0, 800G Ethernet and DDR5 memory.
The growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, the Internet of Things, high-performance computing, the Cloud and automotive is anticipated to have boosted the demand for Synopsys’ advanced solutions in the fourth quarter. The company is likely to have gained from growth in Fusion Compiler, which is fueled by large deal wins in the 5G, AI and server chip markets.
The increasing adoption of Synopsys.ai among the chip manufacturers and vendors is also anticipated to have driven the revenues during the to-be-reported quarter. The extended partnership with Intel for improving its fabrication processes using the company’ EDA, IP and multi-die systems is likely to have been acting as a catalyst in the quarter under review.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, the increasing global design activity and customer engagements are likely to have been Synopsys’ growth drivers. The strong adoption of interface and foundation IP solutions is likely to have boosted revenues for SNPS’ interface portfolio. Additionally, widespread contract wins and the increasing deployment of the Fusion Platform, including Fusion Compiler, might drive the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter results. Our estimate for the Design IP product segment’s fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $377.2 million.
Synopsys’ partnership with industry leaders like Microsoft and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is expected to have accelerated the deployment of its cloud solutions. This might have aided the company’s top line during the quarter under review.
SNPS’ solid electronic design automation software partner base, which includes Advanced Micro Devices, Juniper Networks, Realtek, Toshiba and Wolfson, is likely to have served as a major revenue driver. Increased design investments in Synopsys’ ARC processors by automotive companies are also an upside. Further, the strong adoption of security solutions for interfaces, such as PCI Express, CXL and DDR, with more than 30 design wins across all market segments, is positive. Our estimates for the Electronic Design Automation and Software Integrity product categories are pegged at $1.05 billion and $148.4 million.
However, the heightened competition from the likes of Cadence Design Systems might have played a spoilsport for Synopsys. The tightening corporate budget amid ongoing macroeconomic challenges and unfavorable currency exchange rates are likely to have partially offset the benefits of the aforementioned factors.
