Business Strategy and Outlook
| Brian Colello |Cadence provides electronic design automation, or EDA, software, intellectual property, and system design and analysis products that are critical to the semiconductor chip design process. As secular trends toward artificial intelligence, 5G communications, autonomous vehicles, and cloud computing, among others, accelerate, we expect that Cadence will benefit from both the rising complexity of chip designs and the advancing digitalization of various end markets. We believe narrow-moat Cadence has a long growth runway as it uses strategic organic and inorganic investments to expand its platform amid a growing semiconductor landscape.
