Electronic Arts actions lost 17.5% of value right after they announced their results. But hey, 7 millions is "not bad"!
And by the way, the "just 1 million below expectation" is kind of an incomplete number. Those expectations were already lowered after the issues last summer, so it's "1 million less than what was expected after the backlash".
They also expect 4.75 billion dollars of revenue for the fiscal year instead of 4.2, but actually they already lowered the projections from 4.55 to 4.2 at that time. So they expect 800 millions less revenue compared to before BFV.

So yeah, "only 1 millions less, not bad", except that it's one million less than the already lowered expectations after the failed launch. We don't know at all how high were the initial expectations.
