Electronic Arts stock looks potentially undervalued based on its forward P/E ratio of 19.84. However, analysts expect earnings to decline by more than 72% this year before bouncing back 10% next year. Therefore, the stock could pull back before establishing a more robust rally. 

The company could experience an average earnings growth of about 15% for the next five years. Therefore, it could be a great long-term buy.

Technical overview: buy the rebound

Technically, EA stock has pulled back closer to oversold conditions in the 14-day RSI. The stock also trades just above the 100-day MA.

Investors can target short-term rebounds at $143.83 and $149.09. The key support levels are $134.02 and $128.23.

Bottom line: EA investors can buy the short-term rebound

EA seems poised for a short-term rebound and looks relatively undervalued. However, earnings growth constraints this year could see EA’s share price fall further.
