JPMorgan analyst Sterling Auty upgraded Synopsys (SNPS) to Neutral with an unchanged price target of $98. The stock's valuation is "more palatable" following this year's underperformance, Auty tells investors in a research note. Further, he believes Synopsys' margin expansion, to go along with sales growth that this year is estimated to be 14.6%, provides a catalyst for the shares to perform in-line with peers over the next 12 months. Auty this morning also upgraded Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) to Neutral from Underweight.
