Needham analyst Laura Martin lowered her price target on Electronic Arts (EA) to $100 given the company's less inspiring game release slate in FY20 relative to FY19, noting that the margins on the Star Wars title expected next year are lower than this year's Battlefield because of Disney (DIS) royalties. The analyst also attributes the lower target to the market repricing of stocks "valued at over 4-times enterprise value to sales". Martin is keeping her Buy rating on Electronic Arts given the ownership of its own IP assets, loyalty of "super-fans", lower risk based on its dependence on title "sequels", and the under-40 age demographic of its target market. The analyst adds that while the company does not have a "Sports game creation problem", the same may not be said about action/adventure game creation.
