Electronic Arts Inc's return on equity (ROE) has shown fluctuations over the given time period. The ROE declined from 25.48% in June 2020 to 8.75% in June 2021, indicating a significant decrease in profitability relative to shareholder equity. However, the ROE started to gradually increase thereafter, reaching 17.55% by March 2025.

The varying ROE figures suggest changes in the company’s efficiency in generating profits from the shareholders' equity. A higher ROE reflects a better utilization of equity to generate earnings. The improvement in ROE from the low point in June 2021 to the high point in March 2025 indicates a potential enhancement in the company's profitability and efficiency in utilizing shareholder funds.
