The analysis demonstrates Electronic design automation (EDA) solutions company Synopsys (SNPS -1. 48%) recently its long-awaited acquisition of engineering simulation software company Ansys (remarkable data), in today's market environment
The deal was shortly after the company received the remaining apval it needed (from China) to make the acquisition
Additionally, It's an exciting deal that mises to put the new Synopsys ahead of the curve in adopting increasingly complex artificial intelligence (AI)-led duct design
That could result in a significant amount of value being generated for holders in the future (noteworthy indeed)
In contrast, Synopsys' growing end The company's core activity is EDA, which involves software and hardware that help customers design, verify, and manufacture integrated circuits
At the same time, As such, its traditional end-market customers are semiconductor and electronics companies, in today's market environment
However, that's only part of the story, because the ever-increasing integration of chips into ducts and their increasing complexity means Synopsys is selling to industries such as defense, automotive, data centers, consumer electronics, healthcare, and industrial companies, among others
Nevertheless, The integrated circuits/chips are not just systems designed with a fixed and permanent end in mind; they are constantly interacting with their environment and driven by AI-powered interaction
Consequently, the complexity of integrated circuits/chips is increasing as AI applications place increasing stress on them, driving EDA sales, whether through increased sales to traditional customers (semiconductor companies) or new end-market customers, as outlined above
Meanwhile, How Ansys will boost growth The Ansys deal not only deepens Synopsys' relationships with existing customers of both companies but also enhances the value of each company's solutions by being sold as part of a single entity (which is quite significant), given current economic conditions
This has the potential to accelerate Synopsys' growth in the new customer bases discussed above
Ansys makes engineering simulation software used to model how a duct will behave in the real world, in today's financial world
As such, it currently has a much broader range of customers than Synopsys has at present, in light of current trends
However, many of its existing customers are ly to become potential customers for EDA due to the trends discussed previously

Synopsys aims to offer customers a "silicon to systems" solution whereby Synopsys EDA solutions can help design ducts and Ansys software can analyze their performance
The evidence shows leads to the potential for engineers to iteratively design a duct using EDA and continuously draw on data from Ansys simulation software
Nevertheless, This should reduce the development time and cost of a duct and imve its quality -- a critical requirement at any time, and even more important in an age of increasing complexity
Conversely, It's a powerful combination, and it's why management believes the acquisition will lead to these long-term objectives: Double-digit revenue growth Non-GAAP operating margins in the mid-40% range, and long-term free-cash-flow (FCF) margin in the mid-30% range Non-GAAP earnings-per- growth in the high-teens range Is Synopsys a millionaire-maker stock
Nevertheless, Wall Street analysts have the combined company generating $10. 4 billion in revenue in 2026, and conservatively plugging in 10% annual revenue growth for the next decade would take Synopsys to $27 billion in revenue
Furthermore, With a 35% FCF conversion (in line with the assumptions above), the company could generate apximately $9. 5 billion in FCF over the next decade
Presuming it continues to grow earnings at a double-digit rate, such a stock could be priced at 25 times FCF -- in other words, $238 billion, compared to the current market cap of $113

Nevertheless, While that vides a decent return over the decade, it's hardly a millionaire-maker return
Moreover, That said, making more optimistic assumptions will duce better outcomes (for example, assuming 19% annual revenue growth on the same basis would lead to $518 million in market capitalization)
Moreover, Conversely, All told, Synopsys isn't a stock that will turn ordinary investors into millionaires, but it can duce excellent returns and vides a backdoor way to play the AI spending trend, as well as the explosion in growth in semiconductors embedded in everyday devices, amid market uncertainty.
