CapitolRadar analysis
33 tracked trades split 18 buys to 15 sells
CDNS has 33 tracked congressional trades from 2022-01-21 through 2026-07-07: 18 buys and 15 sells by two distinct traders. The overall count is close to balanced, with buys exceeding sells by three transactions. Because only two traders account for the full record, this is a small sample and should not be treated as broad congressional activity in Cadence Design Systems or the Technology / Software - Application industry.
The supplied data identifies the buyers but does not assign the 15 sales to specific traders. It also reports transaction counts rather than exact dollar totals. Congressional disclosures can appear up to 45 days after a trade, so reported activity may lag the underlying transaction date. Any disclosed amount ranges are estimates rather than precise trade values.
17 of 18 purchases came from Ro Khanna
Ro Khanna accounts for 17 CDNS buys, with the latest dated 2026-07-07. Tommy Tuberville accounts for one buy, last dated 2022-03-30. That concentration means the buy-side pattern primarily reflects one trader rather than repeated participation across many members. The two-trader base also limits comparisons between buyers and sellers, particularly because no trader-level sale breakdown is provided.
10 trades appear across the eight listed quarters
The displayed quarterly entries contain 10 trades: six buys and four sells. Single buys were recorded in 2026 Q3, 2026 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2024 Q4 and 2024 Q1. The two trades in 2024 Q3 included one buy, while 2024 Q2 had one trade and no buys, and 2023 Q4 had two trades and no buys.
One of the two CDNS buyers also bought each of DIS, FTNT, IP, LNC, MSCI and PCAR. These are buyer-overlap counts only; they do not establish that the trades occurred together or indicate motive. With just two tracked traders, each one-person overlap is a small-sample observation.
