Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
A maker of AI-driven software, hardware, and silicon "blueprints" (intellectual property) that engineers use to design computer chips and electronic systems, including tools like Virtuoso, Innovus, and Palladium. It was born in 1988 from the merger of two design-software startups, SDA Systems and ECAD. The name blends "CAD" (computer-aided design) with a musical term—fitting, since early tools were named Composer and Virtuoso.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -3.04M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
