Synopsys Jumps, Meta's strong labor productivity, Datadog will enter S&P 500

• The US lifted export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, clearing the way for the companies to resume services. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Niraj Patel and Maria Beltran write that both Synopsys and Cadence are “likely to resume electronic design automation (EDA) sales to China after Siemens said it had been informed of the removal of some US export restrictions." Chinese customers represent 14% of sales for Synopsys

• Meta raised to hold from underperform at Needham, with analysts citing “channel checks driving upside to our estimates” and the company’s “strong labor productivity metrics." Labor productivity is driven by a model that is “globally scaled, doesn’t pay for content, is software only, ‘free-rides’ on mobile devices and has closed loop attribution for advertisers”

• Cloud monitoring and analytics company Datadog (DD)G) had its highest intraday level since February, after the software solutions company was added to the S&P 500 index effective prior to the opening of trading on July 9, replacing Juniper Networks. Scotiabank analyst says entry into S&P 50 makes the stock a "must-own" and OpenAI’s spend is a “massive net positive” and affirms proves Datadog’s differentiation in monitoring the most modern environments
