Benchmark upgraded Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $42.50.

Analyst Mike Hickey comments, "We estimate adjusted net revenue of $1,155 million (Street: $1,157 million / Guide: $1,140 million) and diluted EPS of $0.53 (Street: $0.53 / Guide: $0.50). We suspect performance upside for the quarter, and a reiteration and or raise of their fiscal year view, likely driving upside to valuation post print. The Company’s fiscal ’16 period should benefit from a relatively strong slate and installed base growth, that we believe is tracking +50% compared to prior-gen. We suspect investors will begin to focus on fiscal ’16 performance opportunity over the next quarter, which should accelerate target valuation considerations."
