Synopsys layoff risk analysis
Synopsys risk trend over the last 90 days
Across the last 81 days of scoring, Synopsys's layoff risk climbed 13 points, moving from 27 on July 15, 2026 to 40 today. It peaked at 59 on September 13, 2026 and bottomed out at 27 on July 15, 2026, a 32-point spread over the period. That leaves Synopsys in the moderate band today, and the size of the swing means the current reading is worth re-checking weekly rather than treating as settled.
Synopsys layoff history
PinkSlip has recorded 3 confirmed layoff events at Synopsys, running from January 2023 to August 2026. Together they account for roughly 2,228 disclosed roles, or about 11.1% of an estimated 20,000-person workforce. Scoring uses that share rather than the raw number, because the same headcount means very different things at a 10,000-person company and a 200,000-person one. Sources: CA EDD WARN + layoffs.fyi, layoffs.fyi. Recent events weigh more than older ones — each decays on a half-life instead of dropping out on a fixed date — so the most recent filing on August 31, 2026 carries the most weight in today's score.
How Synopsys compares to other tech employers
Synopsys (SNPS) is a Design Software company tracked as part of the NASDAQ-100 and currently scores 40 out of 100, where 0 is the safest reading and 100 the riskiest. That is riskier than 80% of the 89 tech employers PinkSlip tracks. Over the past week the score eased 2 points, and over the past month it eased 19 points.
What is driving the Synopsys score
Synopsys's current reading is supported from two independent directions: confirmed public filings, and 2 anonymous reports submitted by people in the past 90 days. Agreement between a public record and first-hand accounts is the strongest configuration the model recognises. Absence of reports is deliberately not treated as evidence of safety — a quiet company and an unobserved one look identical in public data, so the model never discounts risk for silence alone. At this level the signals do not suggest imminent action, though the score is recomputed every morning and a single filing or earnings miss can move it quickly.
Synopsys layoff risk — frequently asked questions
Has Synopsys had layoffs recently?
PinkSlip has tracked 3 layoff events at Synopsys in the past year, the latest on August 31, 2026, totalling roughly 2,228 disclosed roles. Undisclosed headcounts are excluded from that total, so treat it as a floor rather than a full count.
How is the Synopsys layoff risk score calculated?
PinkSlip blends 10+ public data sources — historical layoff events, quarterly earnings, hiring and news signals, and anonymous crowd reports — into a single 0–100 layoff risk score. Signals are weighted by how predictive they have been historically, and each one decays on a half-life as it ages rather than expiring on a fixed date — so a layoff announced last month weighs roughly twice as much as the same layoff two months earlier, and fades out gradually instead of disappearing overnight.
How often does the Synopsys risk score update?
Every day. An automated job re-scrapes the public sources each morning and recomputes every tracked company's score, so the 7-day movement shown above always compares against freshly ingested data. Quarterly earnings refresh on each company's own reporting schedule.
Where does PinkSlip's Synopsys layoff data come from?
The layoff events listed above are sourced from CA EDD WARN, layoffs.fyi. Across all companies PinkSlip aggregates state WARN notices, layoffs.fyi, quarterly earnings filings, and layoff coverage from major business and tech outlets. Everything is public data — no employer submissions, and no paywalled sources.
