Buying opportunity ahead of strong CY18

We reiterate our Overweight stance on EA, seeing recent weakness as presenting a buying opportunity in a company benefiting from numerous industry tailwinds. The fall-out from the Star Wars MTX controversy should be manageable given ongoing strength for Ultimate Team and we expect investors to soon start looking towards re-accelerating EPS growth in CY18. While we trim current year estimates, valuation looks attractive even based on consensus FY19 expectations that look too low.
