Electronic Arts Bear Case Investors should be bearish about investing in Electronic Arts Inc. for these reasons: Insiders have been selling company stock, with significant sales reported over the last 90 days, which may raise concerns about insider sentiment towards the company's future prospects. The company's stock has a price-to-earnings ratio of 31.91 and a P/E/G ratio of 2.28, indicating that the stock may be relatively expensive compared to its earnings growth potential. While the company has a diverse portfolio, the gaming industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological changes, posing risks to Electronic Arts' market position and profitability. Electronic Arts' stock price has a 1-year high of $153.51, suggesting potential resistance at higher price levels that could limit short-term upside for investors.
