The earnings result
Cadence Design Systems reported earnings on 2026-02-17 for the fiscal quarter ending Dec/2025. The calendar does not supply a complete reported-versus-consensus EPS comparison for this edition.
An EPS comparison describes one part of the release. Revenue, segment performance, cash conversion, guidance and the conference-call discussion require the original company disclosures; the result alone does not establish why the stock moved.
