What the Options Market Tells Us About Synopsys

If you&#8217;re analyzing contrarian opportunities in 2025, this list is worth studying. It highlights names that, despite widespread skepticism, have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">outperforming more popular picks.</a>
In a year when Wall Street&#8217;s darlings have stumbled, some of the most unloved names in the S&amp;P 500 are quietly delivering gains that put high-conviction buys to shame—and the data may challenge how investors think about analyst ratings.
In a newsletter sent Tuesday, DataTrek Research spotlighted what it called "a truly remarkable list": the 10 S&amp;P 500 companies with the highest share of &#8216;Sell&#8217; ratings from analysts. 
&#8220;History and year-to-date returns suggest it is a good place to look for longs,&#8221; analysts suggested.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Contrarian Play: Most-Hated, Yet Outperforming</h3>
&#8220;Wall Street analysts don&#8217;t put &#8216;Sell&#8217; on many stocks,&#8221; Datatrek wrote.
FactSet data shows that of the 12,320 ratings issued on S&amp;P 500 stocks, 55.7% are Buys, 38.7% are Holds, and only 5.6% are Sells.
&#8220;The percentage of Buy ratings is above its 5-year (month-end) average of 55.0%. The percentage Hold ratings is below its 5-year (month-end) average of 39.1%. The percentage of Sell ratings is also below its 5-year (month-end) average of 5.9%,&#8221; FactSet said.
Here are the 10 S&amp;P 500 stocks with the highest percentage of Sell ratings:

Bottom line, the trend offers a striking insight: being unloved by analysts doesn't necessarily doom a stock to underperformance. 
In fact, in a year marked by pullbacks in big tech and sector rotations, contrarian plays are quietly thriving.
For those willing to swim against the tide, Wall Street's least-favored stocks may hold the key to outperformance this year.

Shares of companies in the broader tech sector are trading higher amid an overall market rebound on reports suggesting tariffs could be narrower and targeted.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/momentum-trading">momentum trade</a> just hit a wall and the unwind has been nothing short of brutal.
JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.

Momentum Whiplash: Where Should Investors Pivot Next?

The latest market downturn has left many investors questioning whether this is a temporary dip or the beginning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a prolonged bear market.</a>
Yet, an eye-opening indicator suggests that opportunities may be more abundant than feared—95% of S&amp;P 500 stocks currently hold a median analyst price target above their latest trading price, signaling significant upside potential across the board.
Notably, two Magnificent Seven stocks—Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)—rank among the top when comparing the gap between Wall Street&#8217;s median price target and current prices, a quite uncommon event for tech giants that traditionally trade at valuation premiums.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Market Bottom Or A Value Trap?</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 officially entered correction territory last week, leaving investors to wonder whether the worst is over or if further downside awaits.
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, has been one of the more bullish voices on Wall Street. Last week, he raised his probability of a bearish scenario from 20% to 35%. That forecast includes the possibility of a recession or stagflation—a combination of stagnant growth and inflation.
Yardeni also acknowledged the possibility that a bear market may have begun on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 reached a record high. This shift in sentiment led him to lower his year-end 2025 S&amp;P 500 target from 7,000 to 6,400.
From a technical standpoint, only 41% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, signaling that most have fallen below a key trend support level, potentially confirming a bearish phase.
Yet, long-term market data provides a reason for optimism. 
Jeffrey Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, points out that market corrections—defined as a decline of 10% or more—occur every 1.1 years on average, dating back to 1928. 
&#8220;Corrections also tend to produce attractive buying opportunities&#8221;
Since 1950, the S&amp;P 500 has experienced an average intra-year drawdown of a negative 13.7%, yet it has still managed to post an average annual gain of 9.5%, with 73% of those years ending in positive territory. 
Even in years when the index experienced an intra-year decline of 10% to 20%, the average annual return was still 8.4%, with 64% of those years finishing higher.

Analysts See Upside For 95% Of S&P 500 Stocks: How Nvidia, Tesla Stack Up

Synopsys's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NYSE">SNPS</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.01% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.80 million shares sold short, which is 2.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.37 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Synopsys has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Synopsys's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Synopsys's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of software stocks are trading lower amid recession worries due to uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policy. President Trump said there is a "period of transition." Economic uncertainty could drive a rotation out of growth sectors.

Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) disclosed a strategic partnership with Vector Informatik to drive the automotive industry&#8217;s transition <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44212603/vector-informatik-and-synopsys-announce-strategic-collaboration-to-advance-software-defined-vehicl" rel="noreferrer noopener">to software-defined vehicles (SDVs)</a>.
Vector and Synopsys are joining forces to streamline SDV development, cutting costs, accelerating iteration cycles, and improving software quality from early compliance checks to over-the-air updates and real-time data collection.
These innovations will enable automotive companies to adopt a &#8220;shift-left&#8221; approach, boosting developer productivity and accelerating software deployment across the vehicle lifecycle.
Their initial focus is enhancing the open-source SIL Kit, a key enabler of vehicle-level digital twins.
Additionally, they plan to integrate Vector&#8217;s MICROSAR embedded software and CANoe with Synopsys Silver and Virtualizer Development Kits (VDKs) to deliver ready-to-use virtual ECUs (vECUs) for all components within an SDV architecture.
Joachim Fetzer, chief technology and innovation officer, Marelli said, &#8220;We look forward to using these integrated tools to further accelerate our transition to a fully digital development environment across our electronic product portfolio.&#8221;&nbsp;
Tom De Schutter, senior vice president, Synopsys Product Management and Markets Group stated, &#8220;Synopsys is a trusted partner to the global automotive ecosystem with more than 50 OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers using our virtual prototyping technologies.&#8221;
In a separate release, the company announced the launch of Synopsys Virtualizer Native Execution on Arm-based hardware, significantly speeding up virtual prototype execution <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44212595/synopsys-introduces-virtualizer-native-execution-on-arm-hardware-to-accelerate-software-defined-pr" rel="noreferrer noopener">and deployment for edge devices</a>.
This advancement enhances engineering productivity in developing software-defined products across automotive, high-performance computing (HPC), and IoT industries.
Last month, Synopsys reported first-quarter EPS beating estimates, but revenue of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44000473/synopsys-q1-profit-tops-estimates-sees-strong-ai-fueled-chip-design-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.455 billion missed expectations</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMHX#NASDAQ">SMHX</a>) and Themes Cloud Computing ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLOD#NASDAQ">CLOD</a>).
Price Action: SNPS shares are down 1.30% at $445.00 premarket at the last check Monday.
