MODERATORS
They're cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has "leverage buyout"-ed a company into the ground.
They'll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.
Are they? EA isn't some company that was on its last legs. They're taking a healthy hog to slaughter. It is going to take some time to reach the marrow.
They made 1.5b in revenue last year, and the company was bought for 55b. The math does not make sense.
Not sure where you got your numbers. GAAP Net revenue for FY25 was $7.5B.
