Key points
  • Synopsys held its 2026 Investor Day in New York City on Sept. 30, 2026.
  • Management outlined long-term financial targets and strategy for its silicon-to-systems position.
  • Synopsys announced a strategic, multi-year IP agreement with Amazon for custom silicon, extending to cloud and AI-powered engineering.
  • Synopsys and OpenAI announced GPT-Synopsys, aimed at chip design.
  • A webcast replay is available on the Synopsys Investor Relations website.

What Synopsys presented in New York

According to Synopsys, management used the Investor Day to lay out its long-term financial targets and the strategy it plans to follow to capitalize on what it calls a significant opportunity as the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems.

Presentations began at 1 p.m. EST (10 a.m. PST) and were webcast live on the Synopsys Investor Relations website. A replay was made available afterward, and the company lists a webcast on demand among its additional resources.

Several executives took the stage. The company's published event images show President and CEO Sassine Ghazi, CFO Shelagh Glaser and Chief Product Development Officer Shankar Krishnamoorthy presenting. Ghazi and Glaser also took questions from the audience.

Three announcements tied to the event

Synopsys pointed to three announcements issued alongside the Investor Day. The source page lists only their headlines, so details are limited to those titles.

  • Amazon: "Synopsys and Amazon Announce Strategic, Multi-year IP Agreement for Custom Silicon; Collaboration Also Extends to Cloud and AI-Powered Engineering."
  • OpenAI: "OpenAI and Synopsys Announce GPT-Synopsys: Frontier Intelligence to Revolutionize Chip Design."
  • Strategy and financials: "Synopsys Details Growth Strategy and Long-term Financial Model at 2026 Investor Day."

The headlines indicate that the Amazon agreement covers intellectual property for custom silicon and reaches into cloud and AI-powered engineering. The OpenAI item points to a product named GPT-Synopsys aimed at chip design. The page does not provide terms, financial figures, timelines or technical specifications for either deal.

What it means

The Investor Day page itself is a summary hub rather than a full report, so the numbers behind the company's long-term model are not included in this source. What it does show is the direction Synopsys wants to emphasize: a position spanning chip design through complete systems, with partnerships involving a major cloud provider and a leading AI developer.

Investors and customers looking for specifics on targets, the Amazon agreement or GPT-Synopsys will need to consult the separate releases and the webcast replay that Synopsys links from the page.
