Distress and optionality read

CDNS Altman Z-score needs a fuller balance sheet.

TECHi computes a non-financial-company Altman-style score from working capital, retained earnings, EBIT, market value, liabilities, revenue, and assets. It is not a bankruptcy prediction, but it gives pro readers a fast stress screen that most quote pages do not show beside live valuation metrics.

Working capital
$1.02B
Current assets minus current liabilities

Valuation read

CDNS trades at 64.86× trailing earnings.

A trailing P/E above 30 means the market is paying up for CDNS. That premium has to be earned with above-average revenue or earnings growth — pair this with the forward P/E (—) and the PEG ratio (—) before forming a view.

Profitability read

CDNS converts 21.2% of revenue into net income.

Net margins above 20% are the hallmark of pricing-power businesses — software, brands, and franchises. Watch for trend, not just level: a falling margin in this band still erodes the multiple.
