ANSS trade ideas
Ansys Stock Jumps On Takeover Interest In Simulation Software FMAnsys (ANSS) stock jumped today reports that the maker of engineering simulation software might be a takeover target.
Bloomberg reported late Thursday that Ansys is weighing its options, including a sale, after getting takeover interest.
On Friday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal said Synopsys ( NASDAQ:SNPS ) was in talks to acquire Ansys. The Journal said the talks could still fall apart and another suitor could emerge.
Ansys makes simulation software used by engineers to help predict how products from semiconductors to engines will work in the real world. It serves such industries as aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, health care and industrial equipment.
Potential Bidders For Ansys
Electronic design automation companies like Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) are potential acquirers of Ansys, Wong said.
Other possible buyers include multinational companies such as Siemens (SIEGY), Honeywell (HON) and General Electric (GE), which "have previously shown an appetite for software."
JPMorgan analyst Stephen Tusa said he believes Cadence and Synopsys would be the most likely acquirers. Other potential buyers or merger partners include Autodesk (ADSK) and PTC (PTC), he said.
Ansys has about 20% market share in the fragmented $10 billion simulation and analysis market, Tusa said.

Volume is in line with a tradition H&S top forming pattern.
A breach of the 288.5 level with considerable volume would be a significant move, as it is the top end of the 'Gap up' that was formed on 23rd Feb 2023 (Range was 270 to 288.5). Once 288.5 is breached with a considerable volume, there would be a bearish pressure to fill the gap and that would confimr the H&S top.

Unbreaked DeclineThe stock is caught within a Fibonacci trap and has got some momentum today to test the bottom of the cage. As the stock is in overbought condition this test may get more momentum an fall through. We will probably not close the big open February window but a retest of the June lows seems possible without stop. Okay, a breath at the March high is possible.

Opening positions under $220 and attempting to hold for $300
ANSS Symmetric TopDespite already falling 50%, ANSS has merely reversed the blow-off top caused by the 2020 melt-up. The symmetric top is nearly complete. I expect a break will initiate a move to the March 2020 low around the $130s.
Catalyst will be the major indexes breaking to new lows, initiating the first capitulation selling wave of this bear market.
ANSS#ANSS The paper stood in 4 months accumulation and is finally ready to break through to the top (see the yellow circle). There are 2 growth targets - 402.50 and 409.68. But, pay attention to the divergence of the RSI indicator - therefore, it is quite possible that the security will test the local support level (the movement is indicated by the blue line). Also, try to open the chart of this company at TF = 1M, and you will see that the security practically does not allow itself to be bought at a low price, and the current trade is a good opportunity to jump into this asset for a long time, certainly promising.
$ANSS On Breakout Alert Alert set for breakout above $298
Indicators bullish and have room to run higher.
Needs a pick up on volume to break resistance
