Electronic Arts (EA) is currently undergoing a significant acquisition, which has resulted in the company postponing the release of its earnings results. Due to the leveraged buyout, EA will not be hosting its usual conference calls or providing insights into its quarterly performance.
Shacknews confirmed with Monica Roldan, Program Manager and Executive Assistant at EA Investor Relations, that the company will neither post earnings results nor hold conference calls while the leveraged buyout is pending. Investors and consumers had been eagerly awaiting the Q2 FY26 earnings report, but this update will be delayed amid the ongoing acquisition process.
EA recently announced a $55 billion sale to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. This leveraged buyout is structured as an all-cash transaction that will return $210 per share to EA stockholders.
However, the deal has faced criticism from various quarters. Worker unions and several U.S. Senators have expressed concerns, particularly about the potential impact on EA’s studios. They worry that some studios may be regarded as “less profitable,” despite their essential contributions to defining EA’s reputation in the gaming industry.
As the acquisition process moves forward, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how these concerns are addressed and what the future holds for EA.
