Synopsys expects non-GAAP earnings per share between $3.11 and $3.17. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pinned at $3.17 per share, which indicates a year-over-year decrease of 13.6%.
The company anticipates revenues between $2.225 billion and $2.275 billion for the fiscal second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $2.25 billion, which suggests a rise of 40.3% 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 1.5%.
Synopsys is gaining from the multi-trillion-dollar AI infrastructure expansion, which is driving complex AI semiconductor demand and the need for advanced design tools. Increased adoption of Synopsys.ai among chip manufacturers and vendors is anticipated to have boosted top-line growth during the reported quarter.
The increasing use of AI, IoT, 5G and cloud technology is likely to have driven demand for Synopsys’ solutions in the to-be-reported quarter. 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 second-quarter results.
Given its strong portfolio, SNPS is likely to have gained from the strong bookings momentum and revenue visibility in the to-be-reported quarter. The acquisition of Ansys has already enabled Synopsys to bridge digital and physical design, creating cross-sell potential that is likely to have driven SNPS’ top-line growth in the fiscal second quarter.
However, weakness in consumer, automotive and industrial markets, where the company is witnessing subdued demand for design starts, is likely to have remained a headwind in the fiscal second quarter. Further, Synopsys’ Intellectual Property (IP) business is also going through a transitional phase, where any delays in delivering certain IP titles and execution challenges related to hyperscaler engagements could weigh on the company’s overall growth in the second quarter.
Further, 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 growth drivers. SNPS is also struggling in Chinese markets, which might have posed an investor concern in the to-be-reported quarter.
