When does Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) report earnings? After the close in 8 of its last 8 reports
Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 8 after the close (and 4 with no time on the filing). Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Electronic Arts filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 64 quarters since Aug 4, 2009, and every row links to its filing.
EA stopped trading on Aug 4, 2026: it was taken private. These are the dates it reported earnings while it was listed; there will be no more.
Next date: EA does not appear in the announced-earnings calendar this site covers (Oct 21, 2026 to Nov 24, 2026). When the company announces the day it will show up here; until then there is no date, and an estimate of ours would not be one.
The last 20 quarters, one by one
"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Electronic Arts, a median of 4 sessions over the last 12 quarters.

Where each number comes from
From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Electronic Arts filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it is derived from the hours in which EDGAR accepts filings. In 11 of this company's 64 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and those are flagged with an asterisk in the table.
What this data does not know
- The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Electronic Arts's median 16:08 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
- Nothing before Aug 4, 2009: it is Electronic Arts's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
- What will happen. Every date on the page already happened. Electronic Arts reporting after the close 6 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
- Electronic Arts's identity is its SEC CIK (0000712515), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.

What is behind these dates
The concepts on this page, explained from scratch in the Academy. Free, no account.
- Guessing next quarter's earnings gives no edgeWhy knowing a quarter's earnings in advance is not enough to make money: what moves the price is the gap against what was expected.
- Supply, demand and price: why it rises and falls constantlyWhat happens to the price on announcement day, and why excellent results can leave the stock falling.
- The three financial statements of a companyWhat is inside the 10-Q and the 10-K whose lag behind the announcement this page measures.
- Point-in-time data and look-ahead biasWhy the date a figure became public matters as much as the figure, which is exactly the distinction behind the two date columns above.
