Synopsys shares rise as Elliott builds multibillion-dollar stake and pushes for better performance

Synopsys shares climbed after activist investor Elliott Capital Management acquired a multibillion-dollar stake in the company. Elliott aims to engage with Synopsys to improve revenue and margins, highlighting the firm’s potential amid growing AI-driven chip complexity.
