GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Mentor Graphics Corporation is in the industry of electronic design automation or EDA. The company's products are used in the design and development of a diverse set of electronic products, including automotive electronics, video game consoles, digital cameras, cellular telephones, computer network hubs and routers, personal computers, and products enabled with the Bluetooth short-range wireless radio and networking technology. The company's Functional Verification tools allow engineers to verify that their IC designs function as intended. Functional errors are a leading cause of design revisions that slow down an electronic system's time-to-market and reduce its profitability. It offers the following digital simulation products: The company's ModelSim software tool is a hardware description language mixed-language digital simulator that helps hardware designers verify that their IC design functions correctly before the design is completed, and is used for application-specific integrated circuits, SoCs, FPGAs, and other IC design verification, as well as verification of entire systems. The company's Questa functional verification platform includes support for HDL, simulation, and new verification methodologies including assertions and formal methods. Questa is used for more extended verification of systems and ICs including ASICs, SoCs, and FPGAs. The company provides hardware emulation systems, such as its Veloce product, which allow users to create functional and logical equivalent models of actual electronic circuits to verify the function and timing of those circuits. Hardware emulation systems typically allow faster verification of complex electronic circuits when compared to software simulation tools.The company also offers the Olympus-SoC place and route product targeted at customers creating ICs using geometries of 65 nm and below. Its PCB-FPGA Systems Design software products support the PCB design process from schematic entry, where the electronic circuit is defined by engineers, through physical layout of the PCB, to providing digital output data for manufacturing, assembly, and test. The company's AutoActive place and route technology is available on both UNIX and Windows platforms and is used to replace older generation routers in its PCB design flows and in flows created by Cadence Design Systems, Inc. and others. The company's Precision Synthesis product family is created to maximize the performance of FPGAs. Its Precision product is also used for FPGA-based ASIC prototyping to enable cost effective ASIC verification prior to the availability of silicon.
