EA Shares Get Lift As Analysts See Gains Ahead

Electronic Arts Inc. got a lift on Tuesday morning after a pair of brokers upped their price targets on the videogame publisher -- with one also upgrading the stock to a buy rating. EA took a hit last week with the surprise resignation of CEO John Riccitiello, which accompanied a warning that results for the March quarter could miss estimates. Michael Olson of Piper Jaffray upped EA to an overweight rating and raised his price target to $23 from $20. He said the miss and CEO move have set the stage for the stock to improve heading into the fall launch of "Battlefield 4" and new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft. Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities already rated EA as outperform, but raised his price target to $25 from $23, citing an improved outlook for the industry ahead of the new console launches. He also upped his price targets on publishers Activision and Take-Two Interactive . EA shares were last trading up 1.8% to $17.88.Copyright © 2013 MarketWatch, Inc....
