Bank of America upgraded Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:SNPS, XETRA:SYP) to “Neutral” on Monday, saying the chip-design software maker's upcoming earnings call will be critical for rebuilding investor confidence after a weak patch in its intellectual property business and uncertainty tied to its Ansys acquisition. The brokerage raised its rating from “Underperform” but trimmed its price objective to $500 from $525, reflecting a 4% cut to its fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates.
