The current news cycle for Electronic Arts (EA) has brought a bevy of significant reports. The company has implemented a hybrid work model, ending its remote work policy and returned employees to the office, which has resulted in some discontent among staff. EA continues to experience a strong performance in the stock market and crypto trends are believed to impact their performance too.
Recent reports reveal the company's intention to launch a new single-player turn-based tactics game called STAR WARS Zero Company™. EA has revealed strong bookings guidance, driven in part by the reveal of a new 'Battlefield' game. Nevertheless, EA also faced some setbacks such as the cancellation of the 'Titanfall' game after several hundred layoffs.
Financially, EA reported strong Q4 & FY25 results, and although Q3 FY25 results were mixed, many believe EA's soft earnings are better than they appear. The company's net bookings are expected to continue to grow through 2025. Furthermore, EA has agreed to acquire TRACAB Technologies and has set lofty long-term growth strategies. The video game giant is also preparing to reveal a new 'Battlefield' game by March 2026.
Lastly, EA is dealing with declining demand for its soccer game, causing a substantial cut in outlook and leading to a 7% drop in stock price after lower guidance.
