Electronic Arts’ stock price is at an all-time high

Even before it has rolled out the next Madden NFL or its first Star Wars game, Electronic Arts is having a gigantic year.

The publisher is back on top of the world after a rough decade, and its stock price is now trading at an all-time high. You can buy a share of EA for around $71.63, according to Google Finance. That is up 54 percent from the $46.57 the stock was trading at in early January of this year. That’s also up significantly from EA’s previous lifetime high price of $68.12 way back in February 2005. With the global gaming market fast approaching $100 billion, EA is one of the companies positioned to capitalize on all of the industry’s most lucrative sectors.
