Synopsys, a privately owned American company founded in 1986, employs approximately 17,470 people and is headquartered in the US. Its primary business is the development and provision of software for electronic design automation. This includes tools and services supporting silicon design and verification, silicon intellectual property, and software security and quality assurance for the semiconductor industry.
On September 9, 2025, Synopsys issued third-quarter results that fell short of expectations and the company's own projections. Following this announcement, Levi & Korsinsky initiated investigations into Synopsys on September 20, 2025, and again on September 21, 2025, concerning potential violations of federal securities laws. These investigations stem from the disappointing third-quarter financial results.
