Press Release Summary: SADIF-Investment Analytics SA has applied its StockMarks(tm) stock-rating system to Dolby Laboratories and produced a research report, rating the company's attractiveness to long-term investors.
Press Release Body: Mira, Portugal - October 24, 2008 - SADIF Investment Analytics SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering Dolby Laboratories (DLB). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks(tm) stock rating system and is required reading for any current or potential Dolby Laboratories investor.
Report Summary: US-based audio and video technology company Dolby Laboratories develops and licenses technologies for both the consumer and professional market. The company's technologies are used in DVD players, computers, televisions and other consumer electronic devices. Dolby's share price has fallen by more than twenty-six percent since the start of September compared to a twenty-nine percent decline in the S&P 500. The stock was bolstered by Dolby's strong results for the company's fiscal third quarter ending June 27th. During the quarter, Dolby increased revenues by twenty-nine percent and income by more than fifty percent compared to the same period a year earlier. However, the economic environment of today is vastly different the period over which these results were achieved. With the economy teetering on recession, fears are mounting that the company will see a decline in revenue due to tight credit markets and from a knock-on effect of lower consumer electronic sales during the coming holiday period. Nevertheless, when we take a long-term perspective we should focus on the company's underlying fundamentals rather than market speculation to aide us in our investment decision making. We can assess Dolby's long-term fundamentals through the use of the StockMarks framework. Dolby currently has an overall long-term investment-attractiveness rating of 77, placing the company far above the US market average. This rating ranks Dolby third when compared to nine of its closest US-listed peers, selected on the basis of both similarity of business and market positioning factors such as size.
The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components - Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of Dolby Laboratories for long-term investors.
