Electronic Arts (EA) announces $1 billion accelerated stock buyback

In the current wave of tech companies disclosing their latest quarterly earnings, Electronic Arts was next in line today to share their Q3 2025 financial results. Alongside these findings, it was announced that EA is speeding up its purchases of company stocks. The plan is to repurchase approximately $1 billion worth of stocks in the near future.

This week, Electronic Arts unveiled their newest share repurchase plan as detailed in their Q3 2025 financial results report posted on their investor relations site. During the report, Chief Financial Officer Stuart Canfield disclosed additional information regarding the buyback.

In an exciting development, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve unveiled a strategic move: a $1 billion accelerated share buyback program. This action is part of our larger goal to acquire $2.5 billion worth of shares within the first year, given our $5 billion authorization. In essence, this step underscores our conviction in EA’s long-term game plan and our knack for striking a balance between nurturing growth and returning capital to our shareholders.

Electronic Arts recently announced a new stock repurchase program following a series of challenging business issues. For instance, EA’s projected earnings for FY 2025 have been revised downward due to underperforming game sales. Additionally, after the launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there have been several news reports about long-term employees leaving BioWare, with director Corinne Busche being among them.

Despite its current position, Electronic Arts is leveraging its available resources to try and deliver worthwhile returns to its shareholders. Keep an eye out for further insights and analysis on EA and similar companies as we examine their recent financial reports right here at Shacknews.
