Shares of semiconductor design software provider Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS) jumped 9.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter results that surpassed analyst expectations and raised its full-year financial outlook. The electronic design automation (EDA) company, which provides software and hardware for designing semiconductors, posted second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.65 per share on revenue of $1.28 billion. This revenue figure represented a 20% increase year-over-year, and both metrics beat analyst forecasts. The strong performance was attributed to high demand from the artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and automotive sectors. This result came despite Cadence disclosing a one-time charge of $140.6 million to settle legal proceedings with the U.S. government over its business operations in China. Investors appeared to focus on the strong results, as the company also increased its 2025 revenue forecast to a range of $5.21 billion to $5.27 billion and its adjusted EPS guidance to between $6.85 and $6.95. Following the news, analysts at firms including J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo raised their price targets.

The poor results were largely attributed to a significant reduction in the company's net 2025 Marketplace risk adjustment revenue transfer estimate, an issue that first came to light when Centene withdrew its full-year guidance on July 1st. The company's performance prompted a series of downgrades from Wall Street, with firms like UBS, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley also cutting their price targets, signaling widespread concern over the company's ability to restore its earnings trajectory.
