What the Analysts think about CDNS
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Cadence Design Systems stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In April 2025, Cadence lifted its 2025 revenue forecast to $5.15–5.23 billion and EPS guidance to $6.73–6.83, supported by strong demand for its AI-driven chip design software.
On July 29, 2025, Cadence resolved a legal case with U.S. authorities for $140.6 million, reported Q2 revenue of $1.28 billion (up 20% year over year) and adjusted EPS of $1.65, which drove shares up over 9% and led to a higher full-year outlook: $5.21–5.27 billion in revenue and $6.85–6.95 in EPS.
Cadence’s proposed €2.7 billion acquisition of Hexagon’s Design & Engineering division (funded 70% in cash and 30% in stock) will add €265 million in revenue, expand Cadence’s presence into the aerospace and automotive markets, and increase end-market diversification when it completes in Q1 2026.
Despite strong company fundamentals, Cadence shares dropped over 1% in April 2025 due to escalating U.S.-China tariff tensions. Sales to China fell to 11% of total revenue, highlighting the geopolitical risks affecting its growth.
Cadence is valued at a trailing P/E ratio of around 93.36x, significantly higher than its 10-year median of roughly 55x, which may expose the stock to correction if growth slows.
Funding 30% of the €2.7 billion Hexagon acquisition with new share issuance could dilute current shareholders and weigh on EPS gains when the deal closes in early 2026.
