EA stock value hits record peak, company now worth estimated $45.5 billion
In regards to the gaming industry, stocks are fluctuating quite a bit. Despite strong performance from the Switch, Nintendo is seeing their stocks lower every week. Capcom, who started the year with the mega-hit Monster Hunter: World saw a steep drop for no explained reason, as well. But there is one company who's stocks currently only rising and rising, and that's Electronic Arts. Since March of this year, EA is seen a slow, but steady uptick in their stocks, culminating in a sharp jump immediately after they purchased the studio Industrial Toys. Despite a relatively weak E3 showcase, the company has reached record highs in the stock market. Stockholders and investors appear to be pleased by the offerings of sports titles, the upcoming Battlefield V, Star Wars game, and Anthem. For comparison, here is the market worth of the following other game studios:
Activision Blizzard: $61.8 billion
Electronic Arts: $45.5 billion
Nintendo: $38.5 billion
Take-Two: $14.5 billion
Ubisoft: $13 billion
Bandai Namco: $8.8 billion
