EA is on a roll — and Wall Street loves it

Electronic Arts is riding high on the stock market today after reporting its fiscal Q2 earnings.

The publisher blew away Wall Street’s expectations in Q2, and now most analysts expect the company will continue to grow over the next several years. This has EA’s stock trading up around 3.7 percent today to $38.87 — although it was briefly above $40 a share for the first time since September 2008 at one point today. The company generated 73 cents per share in earnings and revenues of $1.22 billion in Q2 largely due to strong performance from EA Sports releases, mobile games, and The Sims 4.
