Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) shares were up 6.57% in today’s US session, at $442.37 by 7:45pm in London, closing the session up 4.78% at $434.94. The company makes electronic design automation software, the tools used to design chips, and is a constituent of both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. The rise is the fifth-largest daily move the stock has made in six months.
The shares have traded between a low of $415.24 and a high of $445.50 today, a wide range for a single session. At the close, the stock had eased off the top of that range, with a majority of the day’s rise held.
Synopsys daily closes over the past month, with today’s session so far highlighted. The last point is the level at 7:45pm in London.
How unusual this is
Today’s move ranks fifth among the past 126 sessions, roughly six months of trading. Four sessions in that period saw bigger moves, so a gain of more than 5% is large for the stock but not without precedent in the half-year. Measured against that run of sessions, today stands among the biggest days the shares have had.
