Semiconductors and Chip Design Centered on Synopsys
Individual stocks only (no ETFs) · 10 stocks · CZK 1,250,000
This document presents a model portfolio focused on Synopsys and similarly positioned companies in semiconductors and chip design. As requested, it contains only individual stocks (no ETFs). It assumes an investment of CZK 1,250,000 (the midpoint of the CZK 1–1.5 million range).
Important notice: I am not a financial adviser, and this is not investment advice. It is an educational model example. Target prices are indicative analyst consensus estimates, not guarantees. Consult a licensed adviser before investing.
Without ETFs, you cannot buy the “whole market” in a single purchase, so risk is spread across ten companies throughout the chip value chain: design (Synopsys, Cadence), manufacturing (TSMC), chip and AI designers (Broadcom, NVIDIA), and equipment makers (ASML, Applied Materials, KLA, Lam Research). Texas Instruments adds a more stable, dividend-paying stock as a cushion.
Beware of single-sector concentration: the entire portfolio is in one industry. Synopsys therefore has a meaningful but not dominant weight; however, without ETFs or other sectors, the portfolio is more volatile and may fall sharply in a bad year.
Target prices = indicative analyst consensus estimates (~12 months); upside = increase from prices as of 10–13 July 2026. ASML trades in euros; all others in US dollars. Calculate the number of shares based on the price and exchange rate on the purchase date.
WHAT INVESTORS DID Q1 2026 In Q1 2026, institutions shifted heavily into semiconductors. According to a Reuters review of 13F filings, nearly 5,000 of about 6,600 institutions bought at least one of the 17 semiconductor stocks tracked. The semiconductor weight in hedge funds’ long positions climbed to a record ~19%—the highest level ever and more than double the level at the start of the year. Money flowed into chips at the expense of software. Note: these are sector-wide data; purchases by individual funds across our ten stocks vary from filing to filing. |
النقاط الرئيسية هذا الشهر
● Synopsys (SNPS) – the global leader in electronic design automation (EDA) software; the core of the theme, but at a reasonable weight.
● Cadence (CDNS) – the other major EDA player and Synopsys’s direct competitor; together they form the backbone of chip design.
● ASML – the most advanced chips cannot be made without its lithography systems; it has virtually no competition.
● TSMC (TSM) – the world’s largest chip foundry, manufacturing for NVIDIA, Apple and others; the core of the entire value chain.
● Broadcom (AVGO) and NVIDIA (NVDA) – major chip designers and key drivers of AI demand, which also supports demand for Synopsys tools.
● Applied Materials (AMAT), KLA (KLAC), Lam Research (LRCX) – make equipment for chip manufacturing, inspection and etching; a different part of the same value chain.
● Texas Instruments (TXN) – a more stable, dividend-paying producer of mainstream chips; it adds stability and regular income to the portfolio.

● Target prices are indicative analyst consensus estimates (~12 months), not guarantees. Texas Instruments’ current price is slightly above the target, meaning analysts expect stability rather than growth.
● Invest gradually (e.g., in tranches over several months), not all at once—this reduces the risk of poor timing.
● Without ETFs or bonds, the portfolio is more volatile; expect that its value may fall sharply in a bad year.
● For foreign stocks, remember currency risk (USD, EUR) and dividend taxation (e.g., Form W-8BEN for US stocks).
● Review the weights once a year and, if necessary, return the portfolio to its target allocation (rebalance).
Indicative prices as of 10–13 July 2026: SNPS ~$446, CDNS ~$375, ASML ~€1,561, TSM ~$434, AVGO ~$400, NVDA ~$211, AMAT ~$602, KLAC ~$232, LRCX ~$353, TXN ~$311. Sources for target prices: analyst consensus (MarketBeat, StockAnalysis, TipRanks). Investor data: Reuters review of Q1 2026 13F filings. Prices change—check current values before buying.
