Our cash-flow model value is $50.35 a share, against a share price of $62.05. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 6.3% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the 1.1% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 17, 2026 (estimated)

Dolby Laboratories, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 0.6% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 29.0%. Where it stands out: gross margin of 87.6% ranks 9 of 160 application software companies we cover. Where it lags: revenue growth of 0.6% ranks 152 of 184 application software companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$52 per share in the base case (~$41–$67 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Net margin compressing: TTM net margin fell to 16.7%, down 2.9pp year over year.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Strong cash generation. 29.0% of revenue turned into free cash flow, against a median of 15.2% for application software companies we cover.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.2% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $0.7bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 17 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Margins narrowing. Operating margin is down 3.3 points on a year ago.
  • Insiders selling. 9 insiders sold $15M of stock over the past 365 days and none bought (87% under pre-set trading plans).
  • Growth easing. The growth rate is 2.8 points lower than a quarter earlier.
  • Below peers: revenue growth. Revenue growth of 0.6% ranks 152 of 184 application software companies we cover (median 12.0%).
  • Below peers: change in growth rate. Change in growth rate of -2.8pp ranks 143 of 184 application software companies we cover (median +0.2pp).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Dolby Laboratories, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($246M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 5.9% and 2.2% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$41–~$67 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Dolby Laboratories, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $246M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Dolby Laboratories, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.3%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.97 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

All options ideas

How Dolby Laboratories, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade C+ (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

DLB Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Grade C+ $63.25

Own 100 shares, sell the $65.00 call expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days) for $2.25 a share — $225 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $2.25, ask $2.70, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:21 New York time with DLB at $63.25. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If DLB ends below $65.00: you keep your shares and the $225 — 3.6% extra on the position, 28.2% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $65.00: your shares are sold at $65.00, a total return of 6.3% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$52.

Results are expected around November 17, 2026, before this option expires: the share price can jump on results, and the premium partly reflects that.

Collar

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Growth Profitability Cash Balance sheet Value

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.
