Wells Fargo Upgrades Synopsys Stock to 'Overweight' with Raised Price Target
On September 10, 2026, Wells Fargo analyst Joe Quatrochi upgraded Synopsys (SNPS) stock from its previous rating to 'Overweight,' raising the price target to $475. This represents a potential upside of nearly 20% based on current levels and reflects growing demand in AI and advanced semiconductor design automation sectors. Quatrochi highlighted that SNPS is well-positioned for revenue growth into fiscal year 2027, with an upcoming Analyst Day event scheduled for September 30 expected to provide further insights. The stock has been trading about 25% below its year-to-date high but offers a favorable risk-reward profile at the current price-to-sales ratio of around 10x. The consensus rating on Synopsys remains 'Strong Buy,' with mean price targets suggesting over 35% potential growth by mid-2026. Despite this, SNPS has historically experienced an average decline in September due to seasonal patterns.
