EA Games Stock Surges on Jared Kushner Deal

EA stock jumps on reported $50B take-private. According to Benzinga (citing WSJ), Electronic Arts is close to finalizing a nearly $50 billion go-private transaction backed by Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Shares spiked into the low $200s after the headlines. Meanwhile, analysts turned more cautious: Wedbush downgraded EA to Neutral (PT to $200) and Freedom Capital cut to Hold (PT to $195). Across eight recent analyst notes, the average 12-month target sits near $185 with a range of $160–$210. Watch for: timing of a formal announcement, financing details, and whether other bidders emerge. Has this LBO already been priced in, or is there more room to run?
