SUNNYVALE, Calif. – May 27, 2026 – Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) has reported a strong second quarter for fiscal year 2026, with total revenue reaching $2.276 billion. This figure represents a substantial increase from the $1.604 billion reported in the same quarter of fiscal year 2025, signaling significant growth for the electronic design automation (EDA) and software integrity company.
AI Fuels Semiconductor Demand and Synopsys Growth
The company's president and CEO, Sassine Ghazi, attributed the robust performance to solid execution and broad-based strength across the business. Ghazi specifically highlighted the escalating demand for artificial intelligence, which is driving advancements in semiconductor design complexity and the systems that power them. "AI is scaling semiconductor demand, architectural diversity and complexity of chips and the systems they power - driving demand across our portfolio," stated Ghazi. This surge in AI development is directly translating into increased demand for Synopsys's comprehensive suite of design and verification tools, as well as its software integrity solutions.
Elevated Full-Year Outlook Reflects Continued Momentum
Buoyed by its second-quarter success, Synopsys is raising its full-year revenue expectations. The company now anticipates total revenue to reach $9.665 billion at the midpoint. This upward revision is supported by strong ongoing performance across its business segments and an anticipated EPS-neutral impact from the Ansys channel, partially offset by the impending closure of the Processor IP Solutions business. Furthermore, Synopsys is increasing its full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance to $14.76 at the midpoint. This enhanced outlook is attributed to an expanding operating margin, driven by disciplined cost management and accelerating synergies. The company's financial results and outlook underscore its pivotal role in the global chip industry, enabling customers to innovate rapidly in the development of AI-powered products.
Synopsys's financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 demonstrate its continued ability to navigate a dynamic market and capitalize on key industry trends, particularly the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the semiconductor landscape. The company's strategic focus and disciplined execution are positioning it for sustained value creation and leadership in providing essential engineering solutions from silicon to systems. As the demand for sophisticated AI-driven technologies continues to grow, Synopsys is well-positioned to support its customers' innovation efforts and maintain its trajectory of strong financial performance.
