Cadence Design Systems stock rose Monday after the chip-design company reported better-than-expected earnings and reaffirmed its positioning as an artificial-intelligence beneficiary. Cadence reported adjusted earnings of $2.11 a share in the second quarter, up from $1.65 a year ago and above analysts’ consensus estimate of $2.05, according to FactSet. Chip makers like Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing use Cadence’s software as part of their design process, and semiconductor demand has been one of the stories of the market in 2026.

Intel strong earnings weren’t enough to keep the stock’s gains going on Friday. Late Thursday, Intel reported per-share earnings that were almost double what analysts had forecast for the second quarter, while revenue jumped ahead of estimates. Intel management said on Thursday’s earnings call that they were raising their 2026 capital expenditure estimates to more than $20 billion, up from around $18 billion, as the company works to meet the rising demand of its products.

Contracts to supply computing power for artificial-intelligence calculations have become such a fixture of the craze that whole industries have begun reorganizing around them. AI suppliers say these arrangements give them unprecedented visibility into their future revenue, allowing them to wow investors with promises of bumper sales and profits ahead. Memory suppliers and their customers have sought out longer-dated deals in recent months.

The global artificial intelligence boom has propelled ASML to the top of Europe's stock market, as soaring demand for AI computer chips flows to the Dutch company that dominates the market for the equipment needed to ‌make them. After blowout second quarter earnings, investors and analysts are asking a once far-fetched question: could ASML become Europe's first ever trillion-dollar firm? Key ‌obstacles include doubts over how long Google, Amazon, and other hyperscalers will keep spending heavily on data centres, and whether ASML, its suppliers and customers such as TSMC and Samsung can execute expansion ​plans.
