<p>Reddit made its long-awaited entry into the public markets earlier this year as the first major initial public offering of 2024. After pricing its IPO at $34 per share, the stock opened on March 21 for trading at $47. It closed Wednesday at $71 per share.</p>
<p>Carmaer also likes <strong>Cava </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>). &#8220;I don't want you to buy it up here,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do want you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CAVA/analyst-ratings">to own it</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said <strong>Super Micro Computer, Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) is &#8220;too hard&#8221; and recommended buying <strong>Nvidia </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).</p>
<p>When asked about <strong>GE HealthCare Technologies Inc</strong>. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NYSE">GEHC</a>), he said. &#8220;I'd wait for another downgrade and buy more. I would not buy more right here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cramer said buying <strong>McCormick &amp; Company</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKC#NYSE">MKC</a>) right here is a &#8220;very good idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Mad Money host said <strong>GlaxoSmithKline </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) goes higher.</p>
<p><strong>Cadence Design Systems, Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) is a &#8220;winner,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a loser. Maybe it can make a comeback,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about <strong>Nextracker Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>). &#8220;I got too enthusiastic about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cramer said he is not encouraging buying in that sector, when asked about <strong>Equinor ASA</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQNR#NYSE">EQNR</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Accenture plc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>) is a &#8220;great buy&#8221; here, Cramer said.</p>
<p>Cramer said he just doesn't understand <strong>Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>).</p>

Bulls Stampede On Wall Street: S&P 500 Smashes All-Time Highs, Dow Jones Marks Record Close, Nasdaq 100 Hits Mid-July Levels

<p>Rosenblatt  analyst Blair Abernethy   maintains Cadence Design Sys (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) with a Neutral and maintains $280 price target.</p>


Rosenblatt Maintains Neutral on Cadence Design Sys, Maintains $280 Price Target

<p><strong>Synopsys</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) shares have experienced a pullback in recent times, with shares now trading 19.7% below its 52-week high of $629.38 achieved on Sept. 30.</p>
<p>Over the past three months, Synopsys shares have plunged 16.9%, underperforming the broader Zacks Computer &amp; Technology Sector&#39;s decline of 1.1% and the Zacks Computer &ndash; Software industry&#39;s fall of 2.7%.</p>
<p>Synopsys is currently facing several challenges, including a rise in cost of revenues and operating expenses. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, these costs increased to $1.17 billion compared to $1.01 billion in the same period last year. This sharp rise has raised concerns about the company&#39;s ability to manage its rising costs effectively.</p>
<p>SNPS faces intense competition in the semiconductor and electronic design automation (EDA) space, which has been a headwind. Delays in realizing synergies from recent acquisitions have been a concern.</p>
<div class="chart_embed">
<h2>Synopsys, Inc. Price and Consensus</h2>
<p><img alt="Synopsys, Inc. Price and Consensus" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/2b/1727786842.png" style="height:278px; width:620px" title="" /></p>
<p>Synopsys, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Synopsys, Inc. Quote</p>
<p>Does the dip in SNPS shares make the stock attractive? Let&#39;s analyze.</p>
</div>
<h2>Synopsys Prospects Ride on Strong Portfolio</h2>
<p>Synopsys&#39; innovative product lineup is expected to boost its prospects. The shift toward hybrid working is driving demand for higher bandwidth, which bodes well for the company&#39;s solutions. The rising demand for AI, 5G and IoT benefits SNPS&#39; prospects.</p>
<p>Synopsys reported strong revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, with revenues increasing 13% year over year to $1.53 billion, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.</p>
<p>SNPS anticipates achieving approximately 15% revenue growth for fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, it expects revenues between $6.105 billion and $6.135 billion.</p>
<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.13 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 4.93%.</p>
<p>For fiscal 2024, non-GAAP earnings are expected in the range of $13.07-$13.12 per share. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $13.12 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days.</p>
<p>For the fourth quarter of 2024, Synopsys expects revenues between $1.614 billion and $1.644 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 is currently pegged at 3.28 per share, up by a penny over the past 30 days.</p>
<p>Non-GAAP earnings are expected to be between $3.27 per share and $3.32 per share. The consensus mark for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $1.62 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 1.01%.</p>
<h2>Will Acquisitions Help SNPS Stock Rebound?</h2>
<p>Synopsys has made several acquisitions to expand its product portfolio and drive growth. Over the past five years, it acquired more than 15 companies, including Intrinsic ID and Valtrix in 2024.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Synopsys is in the process of acquiring<strong> ANSYS</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anss#NASDAQ">ANSS</a>), a move designed to strengthen its Silicon to Systems strategy, particularly in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and industrial. This acquisition is expected to expand Synopsys&#39; customer base and enhance its product offerings.</p>
<h2>Slowing Top-Line Growth, Stiff Competition Concerns for SNPS</h2>
<p>Synopsys&#39; Design Automation segment saw slower growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Revenues from this segment increased a modest 6% year over year, reaching $1.06 billion. In comparison, the same segment saw 23% growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, reaching $1.0 billion.</p>
<p>This downturn was due to tough competition in the EDA market, where Synopsys competes with major players like <strong>Cadence Design Systems</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cdns#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Mentor Graphics.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfavorable forex and a challenging macroeconomic environment are major deterrents for investors.</p>
<h2>Zacks Rank &amp; Valuation</h2>
<p>Synopsys currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock.</p>
<p>Its Value Score of D indicates a stretched valuation at this moment.</p>
<p>In terms of forward Price/Earnings, SNPS is currently trading at 34.82X, higher than the broader sector&#39;s 32.33X.</p>
<h2>A Top-Ranked Stock to Consider</h2>
<p><strong>Progress Software </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prgs#NASDAQ">PRGS</a>) is a better-ranked stock in the broader sector, sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).</p>
<p>Long term earnings growth rate is currently pegged at 2%. Progress Software shares have appreciated 23.2% year to date.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2344135/snps-drops-20-from-52-week-high-is-the-stock-worth-buying-on-dip?cid=CS-BENZ-FT-analyst_blog|rank_focused-2344135">To read this article on Zacks.com click here.</a></p>

SNPS Drops 20% From 52-Week High: Is the Stock Worth Buying on Dip?

<p>The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock&#39;s price. Do they really matter, though?</p>
<p>Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let&#39;s see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about <strong>Cadence Design Systems</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cdns#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>).</p>
<p>Cadence currently has an average brokerage recommendation of 1.64, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 14 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.64 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.</p>
<p>Of the 14 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 10 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 71.4% and 7.1% of all recommendations.</p>
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for CDNS</h2>
<p><img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for CDNS" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/CDNS_10012024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /><br />
The ABR suggests buying Cadence, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.</p>
<p>Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation.</p>
<p>In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.</p>
<p>Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.</p>
<h2>ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank</h2>
<p>Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.</p>
<p>The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.</p>
<p>Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.</p>
<p>In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.</p>
<p>Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company&#39;s changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.</p>
<h2>Is CDNS Worth Investing In?</h2>
<p>In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Cadence, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has declined 0.1% over the past month to $5.88.</p>
<p>Analysts&#39; growing pessimism over the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates lower, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to plunge in the near term.</p>
<p>The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for Cadence.</p>
<p>Therefore, it could be wise to take the Buy-equivalent ABR for Cadence with a grain of salt.</p>

Wall Street Analysts Think Cadence Is a Good Investment: Is It?

<p><strong>Cadence Design Sys's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NYSE">CDNS</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.3% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>3.56 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 1.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 1.9 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727363723_0.png" alt="short_fig" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cadence Design Sys has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Cadence Design Sys's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cadence Design Sys's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.26%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

Shares of software companies are trading higher amid overall market strength following Wednesday's Fed rate cut.

<p>Bulls are stampeding across Wall Street on Thursday in the wake of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates for the first time<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead"> in over four years</a>.</p>
<p>The central bank&#8217;s bold move, a 50-basis-point cut, caught analysts off guard and sent the U.S. stock market to fresh record highs at the opening of Thursday&#8217;s session.</p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 soared to a new all-time high, reaching 5,700 points. Similarly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed to an unprecedented 42,000 points.</p>
<p>In the first 30 minutes of trading, the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones rose by 1.4% and 1%, respectively. The Nasdaq 100 climbed 1.5%, although the Russell 2000, representing small-cap stocks, outperformed with a surge of over 2%.</p>
<p>The market rally was primarily driven by the Magnificent Seven: <strong>Microsoft Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), <strong>Apple Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), <strong>NVIDIA Corp.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <strong>Alphabet Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), <strong>Amazon Inc</strong>.

Each of the Magnificent Seven are recording daily gains ranging from 1.5% to 4.5%, solidly in positive territory.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Labor Market Eases Slowdown Fears, Analysts Boost Rate-Cut Wagers</h3>
<p>Thursday&#8217;s economic data further boosted investor confidence. Weekly jobless claims came in well below expectations, suggesting a lower-than-expected trend of rising unemployment. </p>
<p>Continuing jobless claims also dropped more than expected, hinting at a potential absorption of long-term unemployed individuals into the job market. </p>
<p>This data alleviated concerns about rising unemployment and provided a more optimistic outlook for the economy.</p>
<p>Wall Street analysts quickly adjusted their expectations following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut. There is now growing anticipation of additional rate cuts, diverging from the cautious tone expressed in the Fed&#8217;s September &#8220;dot plot&#8221; and Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong>&#8216;s remarks during the press conference.</p>
<p>Notably, Goldman Sachs economist <strong>Jan Hatzius</strong> revised his forecast from expecting a 25-basis-point cut at every other meeting to predicting a rate cut at every meeting. He even left the door open for a back-to-back 50-basis-point reduction in November.</p>
