PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 05/25, Up 57%)

Has a lot of sports franchises, lacking a single hit videogame. He likes its predictability. It has been offered a buyout, and will likely conclude the deal in Q2.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 05/25, Up 55%)

(Note the short timeframe.)  Takeover bid of $210, which should settle in Q2.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 25/24, Up 20%)

The space is doing fantastically well. Great franchises, an absolute money machine. There's a rule to buy software companies when growth + margins = 40 or more. For EA, this number is 94. July 29 report beat on top and bottom and raised guidance.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 05/25, Up 21%)

(Note the short timeframe.)  Chose it as a Top Pick because the price was depressed. The most utility-like of the video game companies. Weak on the mobile side. At some point, will probably be taken over, and at a premium.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 05/25, Up 13%)

They have a lot of sports titles. They lost FIFA, but have their own soccer franchise, plus baseball and basketball. Sports are steady as opposed to companies depending on a few hit games. Ultimately, someone will buy them out, like Netflix  or Amazon or Apple, who could pay twice the multiple.

TOP PICK

Likes the portfolio, though a bit weak in mobile. Discretionary spend on some titles has been a bit lower. Over the long term, can grow 5-6%. 30% free cashflow margins, enough to buy back 5-6% of shares every year. In-game transactions are 99% gross margins. Yield is 0.6%.

(Analysts’ price target is $146.38)
DON'T BUY
The 5th-biggest loser on the S&P in January

Was down 16% last month when they pre-announced shockingly light numbers, given weakness in their biggest titles (i.e. soccer game).

TOP PICK

This pick results from his looking at the application layer 12 months down the road. Model training algorithms are already being monetized in healthcare, education, and now sports/entertainment. Investor day last week saw a lot of AI tools. Yield is 0.5%.

12-month price target of $167.50. Buy 1/3 here around $141, $134, and $125.

(Analysts’ price target is $160.04)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 05/22, Up 5%)

Video game demand down post Covid.
Has since sold shares.
Unsure on future of video game demand.
Waiting to see prospects for business.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this top video game developer as a TOP PICK. With the 2022 World Cup starting, the release of FIFA 23 has been the largest launch in EA FIFA franchise history. The company is shifting more to a subscription revenue style that will add longevity. It has prudently been using some cash reserves to buy back shares. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $100) to $114, looking to achieve $149 -- upside over 15%. Yield 0.5% (Analysts’ price target is $148.76)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This top video game developer has seen recent quarter sales be up 22% with recent releases of key game updates like FIFA 23 (the largest launch in EA FIFA franchise history). The company is shifting more to a subscription revenue style that will add longevity. It has been using some cash reserves to buy back shares. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $100, looking to achieve $151 -- upside over 26%. Yield 0.6% (Analysts’ price target is $150.64)
TOP PICK
Growth in video games growing as more people use tools to communicate and socialize. Added revenue streams with in-game purchases and upgrades to tools/guns etc. Transition into metaverse with users playing video games. Does not believe company is a legacy player within sector.
