Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund Josef Lakonishok, Menno Vermeulen, Puneet Mansharamani, Greg Sleight, Guy Lakonishok, Gal Skarishevsky | “We sold our position in Electronic Arts in the Communication Services sector. Electronic Arts did well in 2025, advancing approximately 40% for the year. In late September, the company announced an agreement to be acquired by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners for $55 billion. The Fund often benefits from takeovers, as the companies we hold tend to be attractively priced, solid businesses that are undervalued, as was the case with Electronic Arts. BSD Analysis: EA owns some of the most durable franchises in gaming, where engagement extends far beyond initial releases. Live services and recurring monetization smooth the volatility of hit-driven economics. Sports titles function more like annual subscriptions than games. Investors fixate on release calendars and miss lifetime value dynamics. Development costs are high, but scale amortizes them effectively. New IP is optional, not existential. This is digital entertainment with infrastructure-like cash flow. When engagement persists, margins follow.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
