Electronic Arts $EA stock price target raised to $155 from $148 at BofA
On August 3, 2022, BofA analyst Omar Dessouky raised the firm’s price target on Electronic Arts to $155 from $148 and kept a Buy rating on the shares after the company reported Q1 results that beat expectations on the top and bottom lines, with management calling out strength in FIFA, F1 materially exceeding expectations, and Apex Legends growing double digits as driving the beat. Despite assuming a recession in the second half of FY23, he sees higher FY23 EPS and limited downside risk to his forecasts, given that EA’s franchises are “staples of gaming,” Dessouky said.
