Accenture, Synopsys, United Therapeutics, and Vicor experienced significant price fluctuations during midday trading on October 1, 2026. CNBC reported these stocks as the most active movers, though specific reasons for the volatility were not detailed in the brief update.
Synopsys reported Q3 FY2026 revenue of $2.477 billion (up from $1.74B a year ago), GAAP EPS of $2.84 and non-GAAP EPS of $3.91, driven by broad-based strength across EDA and IP segments and aided by the Ansys acquisition. The company raised its full-year targets to about $9.715 billion in revenue and roughly $15.07 in non-GAAP EPS at the midpoint, reflecting continued AI-driven demand and momentum from Ansys integration, and to host an investor call to discuss results.
Synopsys has entered a definitive agreement to sell its Processor IP Solutions business to GlobalFoundries, including ARC-V (RISC-V), ARC CPU IP, DSP IP, Neural Network Processing Unit IP, and related tools such as ARC MetaWare Development Toolkits, along with ASIP Designer and ASIP Programmer tools. Synopsys will use the proceeds to sharpen its leadership in interface and foundation IP and pursue AI-driven opportunities from cloud to edge, while GF gains a broader processor IP portfolio and enhanced manufacturing capabilities. The transaction is not material to Synopsys and is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, with a transition plan in place to support customers during the move.
