Electronic Arts (EA) is currently undergoing a significant transition due to an ongoing acquisition, which has led to the suspension of its earnings reports. As a result, the company will not be hosting earnings calls or providing insights into its quarterly performance at this time.
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 amid the pending leveraged buyout.
Investors and consumers had been anticipating the release of EA’s Q2 FY26 earnings results. However, the recent confirmation of a $55 billion sale involving Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners has shifted the company’s focus. This leveraged buyout is structured as an all-cash transaction, with a $210 per share payout planned for stockholders.
The deal has sparked mixed reactions. While it represents a major milestone for EA, worker unions and some U.S. senators have expressed concerns. They argue that certain studios risk being labeled as “less profitable,” despite their crucial contributions that have helped shape EA’s reputation in the gaming industry.
As the acquisition progresses, the gaming community and investors alike will be watching closely to see how these changes impact EA’s future operations and studio management.
