A person with seriously large cojones might consider going long AVNT sometime soon. Their exposure for restitution in the criminal proceedings is maybe $250m, or $6 per share. Their civil suit liability is unknown, but probably not that large because of certain key decisions weakening Cadence's case.

AVNT's stock price has been depressed for years in anticipation of this liability. The recent sharp drop makes no sense fundamentally.

Looking at the numbers for EDA companies:

CDN, forward PE about 20, cash 45c/share
MENT, forward PE about 16, cash $2/share
SNPS, forward PE about 24, cash $6.50/share
AVNT, forward PE about 5, cash $6.60/share

AVNT is business-wise at least as good as any of the others, so clearly the stock price reflects a huge penalty for the legal proceedings. My guess, the penalty is too large, in other words we have a market inefficiency.
