Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS)

CAPS Rating:
**

Delivers semiconductor design and verification software platforms and integrated circuit manufacturing software products to the global electronics market, enabling the development and production of complex systems-on-chips.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

It's a good company, managed well financially, not sure of immediate growth, but i think in a year or so the stocks should be in 35s, because of growth in chip industry.

I just posted to the SNPS board why I am selling my real-world position. Basically, cash flow has declined the last 2 yrs, so that price/CF ratio is a rather sizable 20+. But margins are tiny and recent sales growth is small. And they are suppliers to an (apparently) slowing chip sector.

SNPS has high profit margin. It has done a new acquisition for synplicity. It has cash on hand. In additional, SNPS runs on a license renewal model. Recession should not affect it much.

SNPS sales growth is single digit like the semiconductor industry it supplies. Recent improvements in margins and EPS are due to ongoing cost cutting that can't continue to bear positive results much longer.

Synopsys's simulation technology is behind the time. Now that Mentor and Cadence have partnered on an open standard, Synopsys will be left out in the cold.
