Electronic Arts (US2855121099) joins the Russell 1000 Growth benchmark following FTSE Russell’s latest index reconstitution, according to a company release cited by MarketScreener. The Nasdaq-listed gaming group remains part of the Nasdaq-100 as its shares recently closed at 205.25 US dollars.

What Russell inclusion means

FTSE Russell added Electronic Arts to the Russell 1000 Growth index as part of its annual index reshuffle, with the change effective after the market close on 28 June 2026. The index tracks large-cap US companies with above-average growth characteristics and is widely followed by passive and factor funds.

Membership in the Russell 1000 Growth typically leads to incremental demand from index funds and mandates benchmarked to the family, supporting trading liquidity and visibility among institutional investors. Electronic Arts already features in the broader Russell 3000E universe and now gains a more growth-focused slot alongside technology and media peers.

How the stock has performed

Electronic Arts shares most recently closed at 205.25 US dollars on Nasdaq on 26 June 2026, up about 1.5 percent over the last week and 1.8 percent over the past month, according to Simply Wall St’s analysis published on Yahoo Finance. The article notes a gain of roughly 30.6 percent over the past year, 60.6 percent over three years and 46.9 percent over five years.

The same analysis highlights that Electronic Arts currently trades at around 58 times trailing earnings, well above the broader entertainment industry average multiple of 23.1 and a peer group average of 37.3. Simply Wall St estimates an intrinsic value of 159.23 US dollars per share based on a discounted cash flow model, implying the market price stands materially above that fair value assessment.

The games and franchises behind EA

Electronic Arts generates most of its revenue from publishing and live services around video game franchises such as EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA), Madden NFL, Apex Legends, The Sims, Battlefield and Star Wars titles. The company focuses on console, PC and mobile platforms with a growing share from digital downloads and in-game monetization.
