If you believe CDNS deserves a large, sustained premium despite slower profitability metrics than AMAT, then avoid using AMAT multiple as a buying anchor because the current price already embeds a much richer valuation than AMAT and sits well above AMAT-implied range.
CDNS trades at a steep premium to AMAT despite only moderately stronger revenue growth, which leaves little room for multiple support. The P/E-based implied price of $214.80 versus the current $406.82 implies 47.2% downside, and the current price sits above both AMAT-implied range and the historical band.
