Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $1.82 per share, indicating an increase of 31.9% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $1.35 billion, representing an increase of 26.1% year over year.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 0.6% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections.

Empirical studies consistently reveal a strong link between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight.
