CDNS does not currently show a 13F-and-insider convergence signal — its insider confidence score is 0/100, below the threshold this product uses to flag combined buying pressure.
13F data as of 2026-09-30 quarterly filings. Note: many large institutions file close to the 45-day post-quarter deadline, so early-quarter flow figures can shift substantially as more filings arrive.
