Electronic Arts topped fiscal fourth-quarter bookings estimates Tuesday.
Shares rose about 7%.
Here’s how the company did versus LSEG consensus estimates:
- Earnings: 98 cents per share. The figure is not comparable to analyst estimates
- Revenue (bookings): $1.80 billion vs. $1.56 billion expected
The video game maker said it expects bookings to range between $7.60 billion and $8 billion for the fiscal 2026 year, ahead of a StreetAccount estimate of $7.62 billion. Net bookings for the 2025 fiscal year totaled $7.355 billion.
First-quarter bookings guidance came up short of analyst expectations. EA expects the figure to range between $1.175 billion and $1.275 billion, versus a $1.275 billion projection from analysts.
CEO Andrew Wilson said that the company’s FC and College Football games contributed to a strong year of bookings.
“As we look to the future, we’re confident in our ability to execute across a deep pipeline — beginning this summer with the highly anticipated reveal of ‘Battlefield,’ a pivotal step in delivering on our next generation of blockbuster entertainment,” he wrote.
Net income for Q4 2025 grew nearly 40% to $254 million, or 98 cents a share, from 182 million, or 67 cents in the fourth quarter of Q4 2024. For the year, net income totaled 1.12 billion, or $4.25 per share, down from $1.27 billion, or $4.68 per share last year.
The company also announced a 19-cent per share dividend.
