<Synopsis Centipede drops a shoe> Electronics design automation software company Synopsys Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS - news) fell $2 21/32 to $36 13/16 after advising analysts (apparently hoping that the news will somehow trickle down to their individual and otherwise non-institutional investors) that it thinks Q1 EPS estimates of $0.43 are too high. According to Reuters, SoundView lowered its rating to "short-term hold" from "short-term buy" after the company said it "...moved some Viewlogic [an acquired company] revenues into backlog and managed the sales force transition." Cowen & Co. reiterated its "strong buy" rating on the shares this morning as Synopsys assured analysts that it believes the acquisition will be accretive to full-year earnings.
