Synopsys warns memory chip shortage to persist through 2027
SNPS
- Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi forecasts that the global memory chip shortage driven by the AI infrastructure buildout will persist through 2026–2027 as demand outpaces supply.
- Leading memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron) are allocating most HBM and other memory to AI data centers and servers, leaving consumer electronics under-supplied.
- The tight market has granted memory manufacturers strong pricing power, prompting warnings of higher end-product prices in smartphones and laptops.
- Reports estimate that global AI infrastructure investment will exceed $500 billion in 2026, intensifying demand for memory components.

Synopsys addresses Q3 headwinds and Ansys integration at Needham Conference
SNPS
Guidance Update
M&A
- Synopsys faced three headwinds in fiscal Q3—China EDA restrictions delaying IP deals, a foundry customer slowdown, and resource shifts to HPC titles—and assumes these factors will persist in its 2026 guidance.
- The Ansys acquisition delivered strong performance in 2025 driven by its leading simulation and analysis portfolio, with another strong growth year forecast for 2026.
- Integration progress includes accelerated cost synergies, completion of term-loan deleveraging in H1 2026, and a targeted $400 million revenue synergy run rate by year four.
- Synopsys sold its ARC processor IP to Global to sharpen focus on interface and essential IP, aligning resources with its core strategic priorities.
- The EDA business remains a ‘tale of two markets’—AI-driven high-performance workloads versus slower consumer/industrial segments—and Synopsys is developing joint EDA-Ansys tools to tackle PPA and yield challenges earlier in design cycles.

Synopsys details 2026 outlook drivers and Ansys integration progress
SNPS
M&A
Guidance Update
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
- Synopsys identified three headwinds in its IP business—China EDA restrictions causing customer uncertainty, challenges at a major foundry customer, and resource shifts to HPC titles—that led to a meaningful Q3 outlook cut, with these China-related uncertainties expected to persist in 2026.
- The acquired Ansys simulation portfolio delivered strong growth in 2025 and is forecast for further robust performance in 2026, driven by broad applicability across R&D and low current penetration of simulation tools.
- Post-close Ansys integration is proceeding smoothly, with accelerated cost synergies via restructuring, term-loan deleveraging expected in H1 2026, and a $400 million revenue synergy run rate targeted by year four through a joint roadmap.
- Synopsys divested its ARC processor IP to focus on interface and essential IP leadership, aligning resources with core strategic priorities and matching the asset to a better strategic fit.

Synopsys outlines 2026 outlook drivers and Ansys integration progress
SNPS
M&A
Guidance Update
- Fiscal Q3 headwinds in IP—driven by China EDA restrictions, a foundry customer slowdown, and resource shifts to HPC—led to a conservative 2026 guide assuming continued China uncertainty and no foundry rebound.
- Ansys performance remained strong in 2025; cost synergies are accelerating, term-loan deleveraging completes in H1 2026, and $400 million in revenue synergies are targeted by year four, with first joint solutions due in 2026.
- IP focus refocuses on interface and essential IP: the ARC processor portfolio was divested to prioritize core growth areas, while exploring selective NRE, usage-fee, and royalty models with data-center AI customers.
- EDA growth drivers include migrating to GPU-accelerated compute, developing agentic AI for design automation, and offering integrated EDA-Ansys workflows to address PPA and yield challenges earlier in the design cycle.
- China outlook remains cautious amid ongoing customer hesitation; Synopsys continues investing and engaging locally without assuming a material recovery in 2026.

- The transaction includes transfer of engineering and design teams to GlobalFoundries/MIPS, with both companies committed to support affected employees, customers and partners through the transition.
