The four largest EDA companies have now all reported their financial results for their respective quarters. Only Synopsys had a positive result, while Cadence, Magma, and Mentor all reported losses.

Forecasting is usually a tricky business, but in this case, some properties of the near future behavior of the EDA industry are clearly visible. All that is required is a dispassionate reading of what the CEO of these companies are saying.
