Ahead of Synopsys' October quarter EPS print, he re-rated the stock.
He slashed his price target to be more in line with their peers.

He believes Synopsys will post a beat-and-raise quarter and guide.
While there is some investor concern about Synopsys' China exposure and exposure to the semi-cycle, he still thinks it is an excellent time to be an EDA company, with multiple secular tailwinds driving growth.
