Cadence raises 2026 outlook as AI design demand drives record backlog
What happened
Cadence Design Systems said revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 rose 22% from a year earlier, with the results announced on October 26. The company said AI-driven design work is showing up in both revenue and backlog, with backlog at a record level, and it raised its 2026 outlook (a forecast/guidance, not an achieved result). The company also said the cost of buying growth is hurting profitability, while operating income barely moved.
