EA misses targets and offers weak forecasts for annual bookings (updated)

Video game publisher Electronic Arts forecasted full-year bookings for the coming year that fell below Wall Street’s expectations.

The company’s forecast fell short of analyst expectations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The midpoint of EA’s forecast range $7.3 billion to $7.76 billion was $7.5 billion, and that fell short of analyst expectations of $7.7 billion for the FY25 year.
