Cadence (CDNS) recently announced that it had expanded its collaboration with Intel's (INTC) chip-manufacturing unit, known as Intel Foundry. Under the deal, Intel will utilize Cadence's AI agents and its Design IP products to enhance “Intel’s next-generation process technologies, beginning with Intel 14A.” The agreement provides evidence that my previous, bullish thesis on Cadence is valid and, together with Cadence's impressive first-quarter results and analysts' bullish view on the shares, makes CDNS stock a buy for growth investors.
