Wedbush analysts have reaffirmed their support for Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA, ETR:ERT) after the company raised its full-year forecast due to record net bookings in the second quarter.

This positive outlook came after the company's results were announced on Tuesday.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) shared details about how fans have interacted with EA SPORTS FC™ 25 since its early access and during the first 25 days after its global launch on September 27*. Players from over 200 countries have participated in more than 1.7 billion matches and scored a total of 4.3 billion goals so far, with Real Madrid being the most popular men's team and FC Barcelona the most popular women's team.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) will hold its Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call on October 29, 2024, at 5:00 PM ET. The call will feature company representatives including Andrew Uerkwitz, the VP of Investor Relations, CEO Andrew Wilson, and CFO Stuart Canfield.

EA's results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 are expected to improve due to their growing range of games and the success of popular franchises, even with strong competition in the market.

In addition to looking at analysts' predictions for Electronic Arts' (EA) overall revenue and profit, it's important to assess forecasts for some of its main performance indicators. This will help us understand how the company may have done in the quarter that ended in September 2024.

Even after the market fluctuations in July, many leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) stocks continue to have high valuations.

Electronic Arts is fairly valued as it prepares for its 2024 Investor Day, showcasing its strengths and key growth drivers that could positively influence the stock market in the medium term. My optimistic forecast for the next 18 months suggests a possible 37% increase in its stock price, but this relies on the market recognizing EA's strong growth rates compared to its past performance. Additionally, the company's transition from FIFA to EA Sports FC may bring medium- to long-term challenges, including significantly higher marketing expenses for the time being.
