Stock Spotlight

  • Stock: Cadence Design Systems (CDNS)

  • Firm: Bank of America (BAC)

  • Current Price: $303

  • Price Target: $375

  • Implied Upside: 24%

AI Fears Overdone

Cadence Design Systems is a provider of electronic design automation (EDA), a set of software, hardware, and services essential for designing semiconductors.

It’s among the many software stocks that took a hit on AI disruption fears. But Bank of America believes Cadence remains protected by design.

The firm sees no signs that customers are reducing EDA usage. Instead, it argues, rising AI-driven chip complexity could actually increase R&D spending and the share allocated to design software.

Cadence’s deep integration with customers and years of chip design data create high switching costs. Recent earnings beat and strong guidance reinforce the bank’s long-term case.

Are you bullish or bearish on Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) over the next 12 months?
