In its latest quarterly report, EA posted earnings per share of $0.65 on revenue of $1.84 billion, falling short of consensus estimates.

Analysts now forecast full-year EPS of 4.71, reflecting cautious sentiment on EA’s ability to stabilize live-service revenue and offset delays in major franchise releases.
