EA's stock hits its highest ever value, company worth $45.5 billion
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I mean NCAA died because of the O'Bannon case and them (being both EA and the NCAA) refusing to pay the players at all. MLB is kind of insane given the fact its completely locked to one platform only, MLB themselves have tried to step in and have a game on more platforms but it seems pretty poor in general.
Sports games are weird in general because theres a de facto exclusive (either in terms of actual exclusivity or relevancy) for basically all of them which sucks. Can't imagine PES has a lot longer left to live

Stocks basically reflect if investors believe you will make more money in the future than you are now.
Yeah, Take-Two is basket case...
You're not an investor, your opinion doesn't matter as much as theirs does. Sad but true.
yes market is going up so lots of stocks are going up, doesn't mean there needs to be a reason why a company's stock is going up
Man.. I thought Nintendo's cap was around 45 billion? This doesn't include money in the bank right?
Those stock threads of late are great lol And people said last year that EA would be in a bad place with what happened in relation with their stock..
That's because E3 isn't that important for EA stock. What people thinks of their conference isn't that relevant since the games and the services of EA continues to do very well every year. And most of their titles also have different focus of public, being more open.
And for Capcom case, the shareholders were worried because MHW while a success don't have a good leg and it's slowing down too soon unlike the past games of the franchise.

That's because quick events in time, like E3, have little or no impact on a company's valuation. It's straight up about performance. EA pisses a lot of people off, but one group of people it doesn't piss of are the investors, who see revenue, return on investment and a long term strategy to carry forward into the future. Remember the Battlefront 2 issue didn't get address because of a huge backlash from consumers. Real movement happened when Disney, the license holder, began making waves about removing the property. It was an institutional stakeholder, like Disney, that moved EA on the BF2 issue, not random posters on Twitter and ERA.
Hurt them enough to change their entire lootbox strategy outside of sports games. That's plenty enough.
Bandai Namco in that case refers to all of their markets, not just Bandai Namco Entertainment which is the console/mobile one. It picks anime production, toys, music, arcade, amusement and many others. You can see it here if you're interested:

For Konami, outside of Konami Digital Entertainment which is their console/mobile one, they have other 3 divisions with Pachinko, Arcades, Cassinos around the world, Health and Fitness in those others.

While with Square Enix they're more on console/mobile with other ventures such as publishing manga with their Gangan magazines and creating action figures/merchandise.
The last EA game I played was Dead Space 2, great game btw, it's been 7 years.

The market cap is just the total value of all stock shares of the company. Their actual assets are separate.
Man I knew I should have bought stock after it dipped following that dumb lootboxes controversy.
should have invested in gaming stock since the start of the gen. would be raking in that dough right now :[
Take that shit elsewhere, please. This isnt the thread to express your disdain for EA/Acti.
Yeah, let's just be glad that hostile and anticonsumer practices are working out for them.
In a sense yes but they also don't take advantage of their big IPs. They are much better at it now but still, relatively low revenue given their IPs. Their annual revenue is lower than Ubi's.
Yes. Since EA includes stock in our compensation, we get easy access to historical data on stock price. In February of 2013, the share price was like $18. That's like 820% growth in five years. Wish I'd joined earlier.
52w return: +34.13%, wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in some more
You're an EA employee investing on EA? That's interesting
So what's the point of the thread then? To just cheerlead for corporations?
slightly beating the chaps at Activision: 52w return: +33.76%
Some gaming related stocks are stupidly profitable these days. For example, we went up like $40 per share in a single year. Ubisoft got up about $55 per share.
So much for investors punishing them for lootboxes.
Or almost completely missing the Switch Gold Rush.
Or basically anything people don't like from EA.
Makes you wonder why Capcom gets the hammer and they don't.

Given PES recently lost the Champions League license i expect FIFA19 to dominate the market this year.
EA is pretty darn consistent when it comes to revenue and their sports IPs are massive reason why. A consistent source of revenue.
Thankfully neither investors nor most gamers take their opinions from Era.
Yeah, we have an employee stock purchase plan and can invest with some discount but only during certain times and with limits. We also get RSUs as part of our compensation, like any other tech company.
The potential of Origin Access Premier and growth of subscription revenue over the long term is probably being baked into this. Huge dollars potentially if EA can provide compelling software to subscribe.
Why? They do not have a sports game or anything that comes close to ActiBlizzards output. If anything they have made some impressive gains this gen.
yeah i was looking at ea, activision, take two, ubisoft...all have done really well.
am cry :[
am debating which of the major publishers i should buy into if i were to try and jump in now. ms and sony have done well too but slightly more tempered since they aren't solely focused on gaming.
