Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Cadence Design Systems Stock In The Last 15 Years

In the current session, Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) is trading at $304.70, after a 0.81% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 3.47%, and in the past year, by 1.40%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Evaluating Cadence Design Systems P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Cadence Design Systems has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 183.87 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749744018_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Synopsys Halts China Sales After US Cracks Down On Chip Design Exports

Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Thursday after the company reported second-quarter 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45656422/synopsys-posts-financial-results-for-second-quarter-fiscal-year-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">after market close on Wednesday</a>.
The company reported revenue of $1.60 billion, in line with the consensus estimate. The adjusted EPS of $3.67 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the street view of $3.38</a>.
Gross profit increased to&nbsp;$1.29 billion&nbsp;from&nbsp;$1.15 billion in the year-ago quarter, and the operating income rose to&nbsp;$376.4 million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$332.1 million&nbsp;in the prior year quarter.

Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys, said, &#8220;The mega trends of AI, software-defined systems, and silicon proliferation continue to drive our growth. These trends are increasing design complexity and costs, while also increasing compute performance and energy demands. Synopsys is a trusted partner in addressing these challenges and a leader in applying AI to help customers innovate faster.&#8221;
&#8220;In a dynamic macro environment, Synopsys continues to execute with strong Q2 results on the top and bottom line,&#8221; said&nbsp;Shelagh Glaser, CFO of Synopsys. &#8220;We&#8217;re poised to deliver a solid second half, and we&#8217;re reaffirming our full-year revenue and operating margin guidance, reflecting our confidence in the business and continued healthy demand for our products.&#8221;
Synopsys increased its adjusted EPS guidance for FY25 to $15.11-$15.19, from the previous outlook of $14.88-$14.96. This new range surpasses the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44000473" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $14.89</a>.
The company has, however, reaffirmed its FY2025 sales outlook at $6.75 billion-$6.80 billion, which aligns with the $6.77 billion analyst estimate.
Synopsys expects&nbsp;third-quarter revenue of&nbsp;$1.75 billion–$1.78 billion versus estimates of&nbsp;$1.76 billion&nbsp;and adjusted EPS of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3.82-$3.87&nbsp;vs. consensus of&nbsp;$3.39</a>.
These new targets reflect Synopsys&#8217; shift in its fiscal year definition. Previously, the fiscal year concluded on the Saturday closest to October 31st, but it will now end precisely on October 31st each year.
This change results in a shorter first half of fiscal year 2025 by ten days, compensated by an extra two days in the second half, leading to a total of eight fewer days in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Commerce Department has informed companies about expanded controls affecting EDA software, butane and ethane chemicals, machine tools, and aviation equipment.

Synopsys Delivers Earnings Win As US Tech Export Curbs Loom Over Industry

The United States has imposed new export restrictions on China, requiring licenses for semiconductor design software, chemicals, and other critical materials as tensions escalate between the world&#8217;s two largest economies.
What Happened: The Commerce Department notified companies over recent days about expanded controls affecting electronic design automation (EDA) software, butane and ethane chemicals, machine tools, and aviation equipment, Reuters reported, citing sources. 
The restrictions target strategic chokepoints to limit China&#8217;s access to products essential for key technology sectors.
Major EDA software providers Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) face significant exposure. Cadence shares plunged 10.7% following the news, while Synopsys dropped 9.6% before recovering 3.5% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
&#8220;We are aware of the reporting and speculations, but Synopsys has not received a notice from BIS,&#8221; CEO Sassine Ghazi told analysts, referring to the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security, the report noted. The company maintained its 2025 revenue forecast despite market volatility.

Why It Matters: The Commerce Department confirmed it is &#8220;reviewing exports of strategic significance to China&#8221; and has &#8220;suspended existing export licenses or imposed additional license requirements while the review is pending.&#8221; Officials indicated license requests will be evaluated case-by-case basis rather than implementing an outright ban.
The timing reflects President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45661128/ross-gerber-blasts-trump-for-destroying-nvidias-china-business-gene-munster-says-forget-about-the-china-curbs-because-the-chip-giants-co">continued pressure on China</a> following his January inauguration. Investor Ross Gerber criticized the approach, stating Trump is &#8220;basically destroying&#8221; Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) China business. 
However, Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster urged investors to focus on core AI growth, noting Nvidia&#8217;s business remains &#8220;on fire&#8221; despite Chinese restrictions.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
