📝 EA to be acquired
News of the Day
Electronic Arts is reportedly on the verge of a $50 billion acquisition by a group led by Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, in what could become the largest leveraged buyout in history. Best known for blockbuster franchises like Madden NFL, FIFA, The Sims, and Battlefield, EA would shift from public to private ownership under the heavily debt-financed deal. News of the potential buyout sent EA’s stock soaring 15% on Friday, reflecting investor enthusiasm for the move. If completed, the deal would mark a seismic shift in the gaming industry, consolidating one of its most influential publishers under private control.
