Electronic Arts price target raised to $132 from $130 at Barclays

Barclays analyst Mario Lu raised the firm’s price target on Electronic Arts to $132 from $130 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The analyst previewed Q4 earnings for the SMID cap internet sector and views subscription names such as the stocks best positioned to continue their outperformance. Across the three sub-sectors of video games, online travel, and subscription, video games is the most attractive due to the condensed window driven by the pending Activision/Microsoft deal "that could lift all boats if it were to go through," the analyst tells investors in a research note.
