What this means

Electronic Arts clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Analysis

Beloved champion

Electronic Arts Inc. is a beloved champion: its quality is genuine, and the market already prices it as exceptional.

The price is expensive. You pay 51.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 19% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
