When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
CDNS' third-quarter results benefit from solid demand trends. It ends the quarter with a backlog of $5.6 billion.
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. CDNS reported better-than-expected third-quarter financial results on Monday.
I rate Cadence a BUY due to its solid business model, strong growth prospects, and robust free cash flow supporting share buybacks. Recent 3Q24 results and 4Q24 guidance indicate a resurgence in demand, with expected revenue growth accelerating to 26% in 4Q24. Cadence's valuation remains reasonable at 37x P/cash earnings for YE25, with a potential YE26 target of $374, maintaining the current market PEG.
