Electronic Arts (EA, $102.83) gets a price target boost by BMO

BMO raised its price target on Electronic Arts stock to $130 a share from $116 a share. The latest price target represents a potential upside of nearly 30% from the video game company’s stock's previous closing price of $100.89 a share. 

Analyst Gerrick Johnson cited extreme positive response to Season 2 Battle Charge, 3 million views in its first four days since release and a 95% like-to-dislike ratio as factors bolstering his outlook on Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts’ upcoming games like "Apex Legends"  latest version and "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" seem to be adding to the positive buzz around  the company.
