Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) saw its stock price drop sharply by 5.01% during intraday trading on Friday. The decline follows the filing of a class action lawsuit against the company, alleging securities fraud.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of investors, claims that Synopsys made false statements or concealed issues related to its increased focus on artificial intelligence customers. The complaint alleges that the required customization for these customers negatively impacted the economics of the company's Design IP business and that certain strategic decisions were unlikely to yield their intended results. These factors are said to have materially affected Synopsys's financial results, rendering previous positive statements about the company's business misleading.
