NVIDIA completed a $2 billion investment in Synopsys, acquiring 4.8 million shares at $414.79 each, and announced a multi‑year partnership to embed NVIDIA’s CUDA‑accelerated computing, AI, and Omniverse technologies into Synopsys’ electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
The deal gives NVIDIA a significant stake in a leading EDA provider and formalizes a collaboration that will accelerate simulation speed and scale for AI‑centric chip design. The partnership will allow Synopsys customers to run GPU‑accelerated workloads directly within their design flows, reducing verification time and enabling more complex system‑on‑chip architectures.
NVIDIA’s investment comes after a record‑setting Q3 FY2026 earnings report that saw revenue rise to $57.0 billion, up 62 % year‑over‑year, with Data Center revenue of $51.2 billion. Synopsys, in its Q3 FY2025 results, reported revenue of $1.740 billion, a 14 % increase, but missed earnings expectations, reflecting a mix shift and higher operating costs.
By integrating NVIDIA’s GPU‑accelerated computing into Synopsys’ EDA suite, the partnership positions NVIDIA to influence the tools that power its own GPU development and those of hyperscaler customers. It also expands NVIDIA’s reach into the AI‑enabled hardware market, where demand for high‑performance, low‑latency chips is accelerating across semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Investors responded positively to the announcement, with Synopsys viewed as a beneficiary of the partnership’s long‑term value creation.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, said the collaboration would "re‑imagine engineering and design, empowering engineers to invent the extraordinary products that will shape our future." Sassine Ghazi, Synopsys CEO, added that the alliance would "re‑engineer engineering and empower innovators to more efficiently realize their innovations."
