Hello. Synopsys is set to slash 10% of its workforce, cutting approximately 2000 jobs worldwide. According to regulatory filings, the restructuring will begin immediately and continue into fiscal year 2027, as the company looks to refocus on growth areas and “drive business efficiencies.”
“This acquisition was the worst thing for us,” a comment read on the comment board from an Ansys employee who’s laid off.
Separately, Keith Barnes, director of Viavi Solutions Corporation, sold more than 100,000 shares of company stock. In case you’re wondering why, Viavi’s stock has been on a tear over the past year, delivering a strong 73% return, and is trading close to $18.46, its 52-week high.
Traded at prices between $18.04 and $18.26 per share — a range that some analysts called “overvalued” — the transaction brought in a whopping $2.2 million.
