Electronic Arts named top video games pick for 2022 at Deutsche Bank
On January 10, 2022, Deutsche Bank analyst Benjamin Soff lowered the firm’s price target on Electronic Arts to $175 from $180 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst calls EA his top video games pick for 2022. EA has a “strong” organic growth outlook, both next year and longer-term, which should lead to “substantial” value creation over time, Soff tells investors in a research note. The analyst expects the company to grow net bookings at a rate of greater than 6% year-over-year organically, and he believes EA can maintain growth around that pace over a three-year period.
Citi upgrades Electronic Arts, says most downside risk priced in
On December 6, 2021, Citi analyst Jason Bazinet upgraded Electronic Arts to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $150, down from $160. The stock has been under pressure since it reported results in early November, creating a favorable risk/reward, Bazinet tells investors in a research note. The analyst’s base case assumes Battlefield 2042 performs below Battlefield V and experiences “some incremental IDFA headwinds,” but that Electronic Arts is still able to achieve its fiscal 2022 outlook. His scenario analysis suggests most of the downside risk may be priced into the equity at current levels.
