Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) on Decifer

Why it ranks here

• Its returns on invested money are modest, around 2% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 15% a year and profits are expected to grow 17%.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power.
• It is riding an active market tailwind but its balance sheet leaves little room to fund growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• It trades about 51% above similar companies, and its growth does not yet back up that price.

Themes

• Semiconductors & AI Compute: Synopsys is the market-leading EDA software and semiconductor IP provider.
