Cadence Design Systems reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.633 billion, a 22% increase year-over-year, beating analyst estimates and pushing shares up roughly 2% in premarket trading. The company also reached a record backlog of $8.2 billion, underscoring sustained demand for its electronic design automation software as chipmakers accelerate next-generation silicon development.

All three of Cadence's major segments contributed to the quarter's strength. Core EDA revenue grew 20% year-over-year, IP revenue rose 24%, and System Design and Analysis revenue climbed 30%. The company also launched its Maestro AI models during the period, adding a new product catalyst to its portfolio.

Off the back of those results, Cadence raised its full-year 2026 outlook, now guiding for 21% revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share of $8.40. Analysts responded by lifting their price targets, and the stock was among the notable premarket movers on October 27.
