Electronic Arts.... Earnings Guidance or Merger?? (ERTS, TTWO)

After the close of trading on Tuesday, we’ll get to see earnings out of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS). The estimates for the video game software game giant from First Call are $0.00 EPS on $834.82 million in revenues.  Next quarter estimates are -$0.11 EPS on $591.13 million in revenues. Estimates for fiscal Mar-2009 are $0.94 EPS on $3.92 billion in revenues.

Analysts have an average price target north of $62.00; Electronic Arts Inc.’s 52-week trading range is $43.62 to $61.60.  Shares are still mostly in the middle of that range.

What is going to take center stage here is the pending acquisition of Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO).  Take-Two has so far successfully defended itself from getting acquired without destroying its market value.  As this is also thought of as on of the less important quarters, the focus will come around guidance and around the merger.  Stay tuned for a more detailed update on an earnings preview Tuesday.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.

Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
