EA

The most significant event was EA's transition to private ownership after a $55 billion leveraged buyout by a consortium of investors. Rumors of a potential sale caused a 15% spike in EA's stock price in September 2025. The deal, valuing EA at $210 per share, was cleared by regulators, and EA began delisting from NASDAQ in April 2026. Prior to going private, EA reported strong financial results, including record net bookings of $8.026 billion and net cash provided by operating activities of $2.553 billion.
