EA Guide FY27 forward guidance (bookings/EPS) UNKNOWN guide suspended ~N/A vs. cons ~N/A (FY27) — no guide issued during pendency HIGH
EA Guide CFIUS approval / deal-close timing UNKNOWN outside date ~09-28-2026 vs. original ~06-30-2026 (FQ1'27) — CFIUS sole remaining gate MEDIUM
EA Guide Quarterly dividend continuation UNCHANGED guide ~$0.19/qtr vs. prior ~$0.19/qtr (FQ1'27) — carry component of arb HIGH
EA Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +0.1% HIGH
EA Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.4% (STABILIZE) Stock is a locked ~0.5% merger-arb pinned $1.09 below the $210 cash bid; the P&L carries near-zero information value with no call and no guidance. Day-1 residual is effectively nil regardless of a bookings beat because price is anchored to deal close, not fundamentals. Over 5 days the residual stays flat-to-slightly-positive as the spread grinds toward $210 on CFIUS/timing headlines — not earnings revisions. Only a CFIUS setback or walk-away (large air-pocket toward the ~$168 unaffected level) breaks this; absent that, STABILIZE. HIGH
