Sassine Ghazi executed a scheduled 14,603-share sale under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-09-19, generating $6,702,222.09. The transaction is non-discretionary and therefore does not reflect timing judgment. Following this sale, Ghazi retains 76,838 non-derivative shares alongside 45,754 derivative securities (29,208 non-qualified stock options and 16,546 restricted stock units), maintaining substantial direct ownership. SNPS stock is currently trading at $448.38, down 31.2% from its 52-week high of $651.73 and down 10.8% over the past 30 days, while the company reported strong fundamentals: $2.3B in latest-quarter revenue, 15.1% annual revenue growth, and a $85.9B market cap. Ghazi's prior trades at this ticker show mixed outcomes: a September 2025 sale preceded a -20.0% 30-day decline, while a June 2025 sale preceded a +14.2% 30-day gain, reflecting variability in post-transaction price action rather than a clear timing pattern.

Ghazi Sassine (SNPS CEO) sold 11,366 shares for $6,694,725.17 on 2025-09-02; retains 71,615 shares post-sale.

Ghazi Sassine sold 11,366 shares at $589.01, reducing his holdings by 13.7% to 71,615 shares. The stock subsequently declined 6.9% over the next 30 days to $592.12 current price. Across his prior 5 SNPS sales, timing has been inconsistent: his June 2025 sale was followed by +14.2% in 30 days, while his August 2024 and March 2025 sales saw declines of -8.5% and -5.4% respectively. At the same-ticker level, only 1 of 5 prior sells proved well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current 52-week context shows the stock trading 8.2% below its high, with near-term weakness offsetting stronger 90-day gains of +22.8%.

SNPS CEO Ghazi Sassine sold 11,366 shares (13.7% of holdings) for $5.2M on 2025-06-02 at $457.93; stock now $466.26, -25.0% from 52-week high.

Ghazi Sassine, the company's President and CEO, executed a substantial single-tranche sale of 11,366 shares worth $5,204,785.78, reducing his holdings from 82,955 to 71,589 shares. The transaction occurred at $457.93, a price 1.8% below the current market price of $466.26 and significantly below the 52-week high of $621.30; the stock is currently -25.0% from that peak. Sassine's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market sells averaging -1.8% 30-day return and -0.9% 90-day return, with a 25.00% well-timed rate. However, at SNPS specifically, his timing has been mixed: of 4 prior sales at this ticker, only 1 was well-timed at the 90-day mark, with an equal split between positive and negative outcomes. The sale follows SNPS revenue of $1,604,266,000 and net income of $345,332,000 in the latest quarter, alongside annual revenue growth of +4.9% and a P/E of 33.45. This disposal represents a material reduction in the CEO's stake while the company maintains profitability, warranting investor attention to the timing and magnitude relative to his historical pattern at this specific ticker.

CEO Ghazi Sassine sold 11,366 shares of SNPS at $463.75 on 2025-03-03 for $5.3M, reducing holdings by 13.8%; stock has since declined 28.3% from 52-week high.

Ghazi Sassine, PRESIDENT AND CEO, sold 11,366 shares at $463.75, exiting $5.3M of his position and reducing holdings to 70,922 shares (70.9K shares). The sale occurred near the 52-week high range; SNPS is now trading $445.47, down 28.3% from its 52-week high of $621.30 and down 15.2% over the past 30 days. Examining his prior SNPS trades, Sassine's timing has been inconsistent: his August 2024 sale was followed by an 8.5% decline in 30 days (well-timed), but his May 2024 and February 2024 sales saw subsequent gains or minimal losses. Across all tickers in his track record, his 90-day well-timed rate is 33.33%, indicating his sales have historically preceded stock declines less than half the time. The current price weakness occurred after this transaction, but the insider's prior pattern at SNPS—where only 1 of 3 previous sales was well-timed at the 90-day mark—does not establish a consistent forecasting signal.

SNPS CEO Ghazi Sassine sold 10,293 shares at $553.89 for $5.7M, reducing holdings 14.1% to 62,568 shares.

Ghazi Sassine, President and CEO of Synopsys, executed an open-market sale of 10,293 shares at $553.89 on 2024-08-23, generating $5,701,201.09 in proceeds and reducing his holdings by 14.1% from 72,861 shares to 62,568 shares. The stock is currently trading at $521.78, down 16.0% from its 52-week high of $621.30, and has declined 4.5% over the past 30 days and 10.1% over the past 90 days. Sassine's cross-ticker track record shows a well-timed sell rate of 50.00% with an average 90-day return of -2.2% after his prior sales, while at Synopsys specifically, one of two prior sales showed a negative 90-day return (-5.9% following the May 2024 sale). The company's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of 15.0%, net income of $408,055,000.00, and a market cap of $80,152,579,344.32, though the P/E ratio of 53.52 reflects elevated valuation. This sale represents a material reduction in the CEO's personal stake in a period of stock weakness.
