Shares of Electronic Arts rose over 2% in early trading on Wednesday, after the gaming giant's upbeat forecast eased concerns about slowing momentum and revived confidence in its blockbuster sports titles.

The video game maker said it expects bookings to range between $7.60 billion and $8 billion for fiscal 2026. CEO Andrew Wilson said EA's FC and College Football games contributed to a strong year of bookings.

During the Q&A portion of EA's Q4 2025 earnings call, Wilson was asked about "the big, major expected release" and how its delay to May 2026 could impact "the competitive landscape for the Battlefield launch window and subsequent performance expectations."
