Thoughts On Synopsys’ Q2 2009 Earnings Call
Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 10:58 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
Last night you may have watched the NBA Playoff game in which the Orlando Magic came back to defeat the heavily favored Cleveland Cavaliers. Great game!!! Or the finale of American Idol in which Kris Allen came back to defeat the heavily favored Adam Lambert. Great show!!! What did I do last night? I listened to the Q2 2009 Synopsys earnings call. Great conference call!!! (OK … I’ll admit it wasn’t as exciting and nail biting as either of the other viewing options.

The Week Ahead: All Eyes on SNPS MENT
Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 02:52 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
It’s been a rocky month for EDA. On July 23rd Cadence revised strongly downward its revenue forecast for the last 6 month of 2008. Cadence stock plummeted 30% the next day. As a direct result, Cadence scrapped its takeover bid for Mentor Graphics this past Friday. On July 24th Rambus reported Q2 revenue down 10% from Q1 and down 25% from Q2′07. Their closing price that day of $14.70 culminated a decline of almost one-third over the previous month.
