Published , by Donovan Erskine

Electronic Arts (EA), the company behind series like Madden NFL and Star Wars Jedi, has reported its earnings for its Q2 2024 financial period. There are equal parts good and bad in the results, as Electronic Arts managed to beat revenue expectations while not reaching EPS predictions.

Electronic Arts published its Q2 2024 earnings report on its website when markets closed today. The company’s $1.91 billion in revenue during the quarter comfortably clears the $1.8 billion expectation from Wall Street. That said, EA’s $1.46 in earnings-per-share was slightly below the $1.47/share whisper number expectation.
