Electronic Arts: Why I'm Optimistic

Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), the leading media and entertainment conglomerate and the owner of Star Wars franchise, has reported strong quarterly results. A significant development occurred on the Star Wars front when Disney awarded the license to develop the games of the franchise to Electronic Art (NASDAQ: EA). Naturally, Walt Disney is shutting down LucasArts, the original developer of the games. The Star Wars brand is certainly going to be a healthy addition to EA’s pipeline, which has under-performed compared to its rival Activision-Blizzard(NASDAQ: ATVI).
