SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $CDNS--Cadence (Nasdaq: CDNS) will hold its second quarter 2026 financial results webcast on Monday, July 27, 2026.
I rate Cadence Design Systems a Buy with a $460 price target, reflecting 37% upside potential from the current level of $379. My growth drivers are agentic AI inside core EDA, semiconductor IP tied to memory and interconnect, SDA after Hexagon, and steady EPS support from buybacks and acquisition accretion. I assume these growth drivers can support the EPS to move from the current $7.90 to a 2028 adjusted EPS estimate of $10.07.
