Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) is one of the best e-gaming and sports betting stocks to buy now. The company’s clearest investor story is its pending $55 billion take-private transaction, which has turned EA into a deal-driven gaming stock as much as an operating growth story.

On May 5, EA said it was still working through a limited number of remaining regulatory reviews tied to its acquisition by a consortium including The Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. The all-cash deal values EA at about $55 billion and would pay shareholders $210 per share if completed, after which EA’s common stock would no longer trade on public markets.

The operating backdrop also gives the transaction more weight. EA reported record fiscal 2026 net bookings of $8.026 billion, up 9% year over year, and operating cash flow of $2.553 billion, up 23%. The year was supported by Battlefield 6, which EA called the best-performing Battlefield title in a fiscal year, while Global Football net bookings rose mid-single digits, and Apex Legends finished the year with double-digit net bookings growth.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) develops and delivers games, content, and online services for internet-connected consoles, mobile devices, and personal computers.

While we acknowledge the potential of EA to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some other AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
