Model Updates
EA, GETY, MYPS
We updated our models following recent earnings for Electronic Arts, Getty Internet SMID & Video Games
ACImages, and Playstudios. We’re restricted on EA due to its pending take private and Cory A Carpenter
on GETY due to its proposed combination with Shutterstock, and thus we are (1-212) 270-8125
limited to factual only commentary for both of those companies. We remain cory.carpenter@jpmorgan.com
Underweight-rated on MYPS. Daniel Pfeiffer
(1-212) 622-0161
daniel.pfeiffer@jpmchase.com• Electronic Arts reported 4QFY results below consensus estimates and, as
expected, mgmt once again did not host a conference call nor provide an Andrew Watts
outlook due to the pending acquisition. Bookings of $1,864M (4% Y/Y) and (1-212) 622-9400
adj. EPS of $1.59 (1% Y/Y) missed consensus of $2,000M / $2.37, but EA still andrew.watts@jpmorgan.com
beat its initial full-year bookings outlook and met its initial full-year adj. EPS J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
outlook. Bookings upside this past year was largely driven by the highly
successful Battlefield 6 launch, Apex return to growth, and global football
growth in the mid-single-digit %s. The slight 4QFY shortfall could simply be
noise, with the company not having provided guidance in recent qtrs. In terms
of the pending take private, the press release noted that there are a limited
number of regulatory reviews outstanding, albeit there was no specific timing
update provided (vs. the prior April-June 2026 closing window). Our updated
model is available on request, but we do not have a rating or price target due
to J.P. Morgan acting as a financial advisor to Silver Lake in connection with
the proposed acquisition.
