Shooters have started to gain more of a following on mobile devices in recent years, likely driven by improved graphics technology on smartphones. This trend could spell success for EA.\nEA is also looking forward to expanding its mobile sports portfolio withGlu Mobile's MLB Tap Sports Baseball and MetalHead Software's Super Mega Baseball-- both studios that EA recently acquired.\nThe addition of Glu Mobile is expected to more than double EA's mobile business to $2 billion in annual bookings in the next three years, but EA isn't settling for that. Management recently reorganized the mobile segment by bringing in new leadership and talent, which shows a real effort to get this segment growing.\nThe stock is undervalued compared to its peers\nThe stock trades at a discount to its peers, with a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 22.8.

In fiscal 2022, management is guiding forApexto deliver 20% growth, achieving around $750 million in bookings, or approximately 10% of EA's total expected bookings.\nIMAGE SOURCE: ELECTRONIC ARTS FISCAL Q4 2021 EARNINGS PRESENTATION.\nApexis an example of how EA is turning its biggest franchises into social networks. In a multiplayer shooter likeApex, users build their friends list and team up to compete against other players. \"It's going to be a huge part of the industry's business, as we've already seen, but it will continue on for us,\" CFO Blake Jorgensen said during the Q4 earnings call.\n2.Battlefield 2042\nEA just revealed the trailer forBattlefield 2042, currently scheduled for release in the December-ending fiscal third quarter, and it could be the biggest release yet for the series. The game is being developed by EA's DICE studio, and the development team has got some innovative tricks up its sleeve to make it a competitive title on the market when it launches.\nFor example,Battlefield 2042will allow AI-controlled bots to fill matches when there aren't enough players in the queue, especially given thatBattlefieldwill allow up to 128 players to compete in a match. This is important for those who queue into the game from a location where online servers don't have enough players to fill a match. It will also introduce a new multiplayer mode called Hazard Zone and feature the largest in-game maps in the franchise yet.\nCEO Andrew Wilson expects the debut of the Battlefieldseries onSony andMicrosoft's next-gen consoles to take the series to the next level. \"If you look back through the history of our industry, every time we are able to deliver high-fidelity, more meaningfully immersive products as a result of increased processing power as platform transitions, we've been able to grow the market dramatically,\" he said during the last earnings call.\n3. Mobile growth\nEA's mobile segment was the company's slowest-growing sales category in fiscal 2021, which looks weak since mobile games are the fastest-growing platform in the video-game industry. But EA's mobile woes might soon end.\nLater this year, EA is planning to launch a new mobile version ofApex Legendsand Battlefield. Shooters have started to gain more of a following on mobile devices in recent years, likely driven by improved graphics technology on smartphones. This trend could spell success for EA.\nEA is also looking forward to expanding its mobile sports portfolio withGlu Mobile's MLB Tap Sports Baseball and MetalHead Software's Super Mega Baseball-- both studios that EA recently acquired.\nThe addition of Glu Mobile is expected to more than double EA's mobile business to $2 billion in annual bookings in the next three years, but EA isn't settling for that. Management recently reorganized the mobile segment by bringing in new leadership and talent, which shows a real effort to get this segment growing.\nThe stock is undervalued compared to its peers\nThe stock trades at a discount to its peers, with a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 22.8. That trails Activision Blizzard's valuation of 35.8 times expected earnings and Take-Two Interactive's multiple of 25 times forward estimates.\nWith clear catalysts on the horizon, I don't think this valuation gap will last for too long.
