Recent company performance and strategic moves
Electronic Arts reported robust fiscal third-quarter results. Bookings increased 38% year-over-year, topping market expectations of 31%. The company’s Adjusted Operating Income rose 67% year-over-year, slightly ahead of analyst expectations of a 65% increase.
