Strong EPS Beat
Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) reported Q2 2025 EPS of $1.21, beating the estimate of $1.09 by 11.01%. This indicates better-than-expected profitability.
Reasonable P/E Ratio
The trailing P/E ratio (PE_TTM) is 36.0. While not exceptionally low, it needs to be considered alongside the company's growth and industry comparables. The P/E for 2024 is reported at 30.1, suggesting a forward-looking valuation that might be more appealing.
High Forward P/E
The P/E ratio for 2025 is projected at 32.4 (based on Q1 2025 data), which, when compared to the reported 2024 P/E of 30.1 and TTM P/E of 36.0, suggests that while forward expectations are somewhat lower than TTM, the valuation remains relatively high for the industry. Quarterly P/E ratios for Q1 2025 (142.8) and Q2 2024 (137.0) are extremely high, indicating significant future growth expectations embedded in the price.
Slowing Revenue Growth
Annual revenue growth has slowed from $7.56 billion in 2024 to a projected $7.46 billion in 2025. Quarterly revenue also saw a dip from Q1 2024 ($1.78B) to Q1 2025 ($1.90B - re-reading data: actual Q1 2025 revenue is $1.895B, a modest increase but not strong growth. The data does not explicitly show deceleration from a higher previous quarter for annual figures. The income statement data shows quarterly revenue growth from Q1 2024 ($1.779B) to Q1 2025 ($1.895B), which is positive but not indicative of significant acceleration.) The provided annual income statement data shows revenue of $7.463B for 2025 Q1 and $7.562B for 2024 Q1. This is a slight decrease year-over-year, indicating potential revenue slowdown.
