ANSYS Trading Volume Surges 50.63% to $202 Million Despite Three-Day Stock Decline Amid Regulatory Uncertainty

On June 20, 2025, ANSYS (ANSS) saw a trading volume of $202 million, marking a 50.63% increase from the previous day. The stock, however, closed down 0.43%, marking its third consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 1.23% over the past three days.

ANSYS's stock price has been affected by the delay in the approval of a $35 billion merger between Synopsys and ANSYS by China's market regulator. This delay is a response to the U.S. tightening chip export controls against China. The regulatory hurdle has introduced uncertainty into the market, impacting investor sentiment towards ANSYS.

The ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions have further complicated the situation. The trade war has created a challenging environment for companies operating in the semiconductor industry, with ANSYS being no exception. The delay in the merger approval has raised questions about the future of the deal and its potential impact on ANSYS's business operations and financial performance.
