Forecasting The Future: 17 Analyst Projections For Electronic Arts

JP Morgan analyst David Karnovsky maintains Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $125 to $135.

JP Morgan Maintains Neutral on Electronic Arts, Raises Price Target to $135

At least one analyst says Take-Two Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) and Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) are best positioned to ride out whatever macro headwinds the gaming sector goes through, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">potential console cost hikes</a>.
As markets brace for market turbulence and the tariff chatter gets louder, JPMorgan's Cory Carpenter says the gaming sector may not take a full hit but will still feel some rumble.
While the low cost and hit-driven nature of video games helped them hold steady during the 2008/09 downturn, things are more complicated now thanks to the rise of mobile and live services. 
"AAA titles and free-to-play mobile games will likely prove most resilient," Carpenter says, while in-app purchases and catalog titles could take a hit.
But within this mixed bag, some stocks are still flashing green.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GTA Hype Keeps Take-Two In The Game</h2>
Take-Two remains a top pick. Carpenter sees a potential upside surprise this quarter, thanks to steady NBA 2K trends and a surprise mobile breakout in Color Block Jam. Zynga's migration to AppLovin Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) mediation platform might also quietly boost Take-Two's mobile business.
Of course, all eyes remain on GTA VI. Investor nerves are growing as the Fall 2025 window nears with no second trailer. Carpenter thinks a Winter release won't shake the stock too much &#8211; but early 2026? That's another story.
JPMorgan holds its $225 price target steady, assuming 36 million GTA VI units at $70 apiece &#8211; numbers that might even prove conservative.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roblox Levels Up With User Surge, Ad Power-Up</h2>
Roblox is the only name in JPM's coverage where estimates are getting a real upgrade. Daily active users just hit a record 97 million, and that's a strong setup for a first-quarter beat.
The newly launched rewarded video ads and programmatic ad partnership with Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google could turbocharge 2025 results. 
Carpenter nudges his full-year bookings estimate to $5.296 billion &#8211; at the high end of company guidance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EA Gets FC Boost, Playstudios Stays In Penalty Box</h2>
Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) sees a modest lift to its price target ($135) on stronger FC trends, helped by frequent content updates that re-energized player sentiment. But with no word on when Battlefield will deploy, JPMorgan is keeping its FY26 outlook cautious. 
Meanwhile, Playstudios Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MYPS#NASDAQ">MYPS</a>) stays on the bench with an Underweight rating as in-app purchase revenue continues to fall. Without a breakout from its upcoming Sweepstakes and Tetris titles, JPMorgan expects 2025 revenue to hover at the low end of guidance.
While macro clouds linger over gaming, JPMorgan sees selective bright spots &#8211; particularly in Roblox and Take-Two. For investors, it's less about beating the market and more about backing the right boss battle.

UBS Maintains Neutral on Electronic Arts, Raises Price Target to $152

On Thursday, JP Morgan analyst Cory Carpenter highlighted its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games" rel="noreferrer noopener">video game top picks</a>, including Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) (Overweight rating with $225 price target), Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) (Overweight rating with $75 price target), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) (Neutral rating) and Playstudios (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MYPS#NASDAQ">MYPS</a>) (Underweight rating).
Carpenter noted Take-Two Interactive as the top pick riding the Grand Theft Auto VI Wave, with improved NBA 2K &amp; Zynga performance.
The analyst remarked that the strongest-ever game pipeline in 2025 (GTA VI (Fall), Borderlands 4, Mafia: The Old Country (Summer), and Civilization 7) followed years of heavy investment.

Carpenter said GTA VI&#8217;s success likely drives estimates and multiples higher, with the potential for a higher unit price (&gt;$70).
The analyst believes Zynga&#8217;s transition to AppLovin Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) MAX mediation platform could be an underappreciated tailwind.
He highlighted Color Block Jam&#8217;s early momentum and Empires &amp; Puzzles&#8217; stability in the mobile gaming segment.
According to the analyst, cost efficiency initiatives like Chartboost &amp; Private Division divestitures and 5% downsizing in April 2024 should maximize leverage around core title releases.
For Electronic Arts, Carpenter highlighted FC trends, Battlefield launch timing, and Bookings&#8217; return to growth.
For Roblox, the analyst anticipated Bookings growth of 20%+, DAUs after a fourth-quarter slowdown, and Ads/commerce ramping.
For Playstudios, Carpenter focused on Sweepstakes initiatives, the New Tetris title launch, and Core game stability.
Carpenter projected fiscal 2025 revenue growth of 20% for Roblox, 3% for Electronic Arts, and 46% for Take-Two Interactive. The analyst projected a 10% decline for PlayStudios in the fiscal year.
Carpenter projected a fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% for Roblox, 32% for Electronic Arts, 23% for Take-Two Interactive, and 19% for PlayStudios.
