By Hera! Electronic Arts Scores Big, But Can They Keep Pace with a Speeding Bullet?

Great Hera! EA Smashes Q4 Expectations!

Greetings mortals! Wonder Woman here reporting live from the front lines of… the stock market? Yes even I Princess Diana of Themyscira must occasionally descend from Mount Olympus (or in this case my invisible jet) to observe the goings on of your mortal realm. And what do I find? Electronic Arts a company that crafts these… 'video games,' has apparently exceeded expectations! Their earnings for the fourth quarter? A triumphant 98 cents per share! Bookings? A whopping $1.80 billion! Clearly someone has been wielding the Lasso of Truth to secure these impressive numbers. They're like ares on the battlefield!

Touchdown! Football Games Score Big!

CEO Andrew Wilson credits the success to their 'FC' and 'College Football' games. Apparently the combination of digitized athletes and virtual pigskins is a powerful force indeed! Who knew that mortals found such amusement in simulating battles on a field? Though I suppose it's a bit less… messy than the real thing. Reminds me of the time I tried to teach Etta Candy the rules of American football. Let's just say it involved a lot of lassoing and confused referees.

A Glimpse into the Future (of Bookings)

Looking ahead EA expects bookings between $7.60 billion and $8 billion for fiscal year 2026. That's a lot of… well I'm not entirely sure what 'bookings' *are* but it sounds important! It's like predicting the number of Parademons Darkseid will unleash next Tuesday. Tricky business! But hold your horses because it isn't all good news. For the upcoming first quarter their guidance fell short of analyst expectations which trust me can sting more than a hit from Doomsday. The expectations of the analysts are always wild.

Profits Up But Not *Quite* Super

Net income for Q4 2025 saw a nearly 40% increase landing at $254 million. Not too shabby! But for the entire year? A slight dip. It's like flying at Mach 5 then hitting a patch of… turbulence. Still impressive but not quite the record breaking speed I'm accustomed to. It seems Ares wasn't too happy about that.

Dividends! A Reward for Shareholders!

And to top it all off EA is offering a 19 cent per share dividend. A dividend you say? That's like a little bonus of Ambrosia for all the shareholders! A token of gratitude for believing in the power of... uh... electronic sports? Whatever helps them sleep at night I suppose. Maybe they will use it to invest in more games.

Battlefield Beckons: A Glimmer of Hope?

CEO Wilson promises a 'deep pipeline' of games including the 'highly anticipated reveal of 'Battlefield.'' Could this be the game that rights the ship? Will it be as epic as the Battle of Thermopylae? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: the world will be watching. And so will I from the comfort of my invisible jet. After all someone needs to keep an eye on these mortals especially when they're wielding such powerful technologies. I hope the battlefield isn't actually on a field.
