Cadence Design Systems a-t-elle un pricing power dans son secteur ?

Pricing is underpinned by mission‑criticality, scarce alternatives, and value‑based selling tied to time‑to‑market and PPA outcomes.

Gross margins are structurally high (cost of product and maintenance ~10 percent of related revenue in 2024), and AI‑enhanced products (Cerebrus, Verisium SimAI, Allegro X AI) deliver measurable productivity, supporting premium pricing.

Hardware adds large, lumpy but high‑value deals; IP for HBM4, UCIe and SerDes at bleeding‑edge nodes broadens monetization. Risks: large enterprise agreements temper list‑price optics; government scrutiny and China sensitivities can cap certain price avenues.

Overall pricing power remains strong and likely to expand as AI agents and 3D‑IC workflows proliferate.
