Shares of Electronic Arts (ERTS) have hit a new 52 week low this week, and are sitting just above historical two and five year lows.  While this may prove to be frustrating for current EA stockholders, it will serve as an excellent entry point for new ones.

Activision reached a new 52-week high -- how high is it going?
ERTS

in
526 days
Filed under: Industry, Microsoft (MSFT), Sony Corp ADR (SNE), Electronic Arts (ERTS), Activision Inc (ATVI), Stocks to Buy At least one of my stocks is doing pretty well in this terrible, depressing market environment. Activision (NASDAQ: ATVI) hit a new 52-week high of $36.84 on Tuesday. It closed a little below that, but it was a great, high-volume day for the stock, one that saw the shares rise almost 5%. <>Yes, with the Dow Jones index shedding 100 points, with every other stock in my portfolio in the red, including MFA (NYSE: MFA), which closed down to $6.66 -- the number of the beast, my...

Currently Invested in Activision, But EA Merits Consideration
ERTS
-65.87%
in
560 days
5/14 - "EA was forecast to only break-even on a non-GAAP basis, so the difference was a nice $0.09. In terms of operational cash flow, EA increased the metric by 33% during the fourth quarter, but for the full year, operational cash flow decreased 15%. Ah, such is life, I guess. Nevertheless, EA produced 27 titles that sold over a million units this year -- three more than in the previous year. Fifteen of its titles sold over 2 million units -- five more than the last fiscal period. Titles such as Army of Two and Rock Band, as well as various sports franchises, drove the results."

A Less Artful EA
ERTS

in

5/14 - "Although the quarter beat analysts' expectations on an adjusted basis, many investors seem to be thinking "game over," especially since EA turned in a rather tepid forecast and gave reason to believe that the pesky "enhancing profitability" portion of EA's picture remains fuzzy at best.
EA also said it will stop offering quarterly forecasts. Although corporations' forecasts can be unreliable, I'm not sure what EA's decision to stop giving them at all -- at a time when many investors are already wondering what the heck its deal is -- says about its chances of getting its act togethe...

Electronic Arts (ERTS), the maker of the Madden Football series, Tiger Woods PGA, and NBA Live for lack of a better phrase is a slam dunk.
<!--more-->
In a bad economy, people cocoon themselves. They stay home. They watch TV. They rent movies. And, they play video games. Electronic Arts (ERTS) is the king of video game makers. Yes we have a variety of platforms to choose from, Playstation (SNE), XBOX 360 (MSFT), the Wii, and of course PC and MAC(AAPL). Guess what ? Electronic Arts makes games for all of them.

EA is the biggest computer game maker. With Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox 360, Sony (SNE) Playstation 3 and Nintento (NTDOY) Wii having their next generation on the market the customer base for EA grows. Analysts expect earnings to triple till 2009. Furthermore, Apple (AAPL) wants EA to make games for its upcoming iPhone. Recently EA bought "SingShot Media" a company that maintains a online karaoke site that lets users record karaoke songs to share it with friends online.
Having such a growing potential customer base, sales should rise as the sales of nextgen console continue to grow, too.

If you are going to own a video gaming software company then this is the blue chip name you should own. Video gaming is bigger than the movie business and it will continue to grow. Generations have been weened on franchises like Madden and Need For Speed, and EA will continue to prosper. This stock has suffered because there is transition underway among consoles and consumers have put off purchases. Games now sell for 50 or 60 bucks, contain advertising in them and gamers spend some 40 hours staring at these things. Hollywood has awoken to these amazing franchises and if any of them is a ta...
