MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Investors should be bearish about investing in Electronic Arts Inc. for these reasons:

  • The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is relatively high at around 58.22, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value investors.
  • The P/E/G ratio of 2.26 indicates that the stock's price is high relative to its growth rate, which may signal that future growth is already priced in, limiting upside potential.
  • Despite its strong market position, the company faces intense competition in the gaming industry, which could impact its market share and profitability.
  • Electronic Arts Inc. has a payout ratio of 21.78%, which, while manageable, indicates that a significant portion of earnings is being returned to shareholders rather than reinvested in growth opportunities.
