Year-to-date, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) stock gained 22.7% and on October 16th it had a closing price of $131.92. Here is what Wedgewood Partners said:
“Electronic Arts reported an over +70% increase in bookings during the quarter as the Company’s video game titles like FIFA, Madden, and Apex Legends benefitted from increased engagement during the pandemic. While the market expects results to decelerate from these levels, we continue to believe the Company possesses plenty of growth drivers, including several new franchise titles, a once-in-a-decade new console cycle, and the launch of its game development platform as a service, currently dubbed “Project Atlas.”
