[Click here for my 7-step plan for 2022]( [Ad] *This is sponsored advertising content Electronic Arts Business Electronic Arts (EA) develops, markets, publishes, and distributes video games. Its games are played on consoles, PCs, mobile phones, and tablets. Its popular games include Apex Legends, FIFA, F1, The Sims, and Madden NFL. The games are marketed and sold via digital and retail channels. The EA player network grew to nearly 600 million, according to the companyâs Q1 FY23 results. The firm generated $1.7 billion during the quarter, largely due to the success of its FIFA franchise and the F1 22 launch. Its FIFA Ultimate Team engagement during the quarter was up nearly 40% (YoY) in weekly and daily average players. EAâs bookings were $7.4 billion (ttm), up 22% (YoY), per its Q1 FY23 report. Financials EA has increased its revenues for the last four years. The pandemic certainly helped as overall video games sales jumped with folk stuck at home. Thatâs put the company on pace for record revenue numbers. Currently, the trailing twelve month (ttm) revenues are $7.2 billion. Its quarterly revenue growth (YoY) stands at 13.9%. Plus, the firm has an operating cash flow of $1.96 billion (ttm). EA has a current ratio of 1.24x, meaning it has enough cash to cover its short-term liabilities. The company has rewarded shareholders through its share buyback program, repurchasing 2.5 million shares for $320 million during its last quarter, bringing it to 9.7 million shares for $1.29 billion (ttm). Furthermore, it offers a $0.76 per share annual dividend. Valuation 2022 has been a difficult year for stocks with high P/E ratios. However, at a P/E GAAP (ttm) of 41.8x, EA shares have outperformed the overall market. That could be because the company has been a rumored takeover target. Nonetheless, its P/E GAAP is significantly higher than its 5-year average of 33.3x. Thatâs still better than its competitors Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) at 95.6x, Ubisoft Entertainment (UBSFY) at 61.67x, and (Roblox) RBLX. EA has a price-to-sales ratio of 5.18x, which is better than its 5-year average of 6.4x. Additionally, it beats than RBLX at 10.5x and Activision Blizzard (ATVI) at 8.02x. However, it falls short of TTWO at 4.05x and UBSFY at 2.58x. Profitability EA has a gross profit margin of 74.3%, significantly better than RBLX at 23.2% and TTWO at 58.8%. Its EBITDA margin of 24.4% is better than RBLX at -20.6%, TTWO at 19.8%, and UBSFY at 19.78%. EA has a return on equity of 11.6%, which is better than RBLX, TTWO, ATVI, and UBSFY. Its return on total capital of 8.2%, is notably better than its competitors. Growth While Roblox is growing at a faster clip, 57.2% (YoY), it's not yet a profitable company. EAs revenue growth of 25.9% is stronger than TTWO at 13.09%. Meanwhile, ATVI and UBSFY has seen a decline in revenue growth (YoY). EA has an EBITDA growth of 53.89%, notably better than RBLX, TTWO, ATVI, and UBSFY. 3 Immediate Threats to Your Wealth: Three terrifying forces are converging to threaten your wealth.

[Click here for my 7-step plan for 2022]( [Ad] *This is sponsored advertising content Our Opinion 7/10 The gaming industry is hot, and it has a bright future. Microsoft announced it was buying Activision. And there have been rumors that Ubisoft might be sold to private equity. At the same time, Take-Two bought out Zynga games. Itâs only natural to believe that EA is a takeover target. Will Amazon make a play for them? If itâs not them, it very could be someone else. We like EAs current valuation, managementâs ability to execute in a difficult economy, and the companyâs portfolio of game franchises. [We want to hear from you!
