Dolby targets a sharp fiscal Q4 rebound as content deals, auto Atmos growth and licensing gains face contract-timing volatility.

Dolby's discounted valuation and $756 million cash balance support its long-term case as premium formats and auto licensing expand.

DLB beat Q3 earnings estimates despite lower revenue, then forecast strong Q4 growth backed by video licensing, autos and new device categories.

Dolby Laboratories NYSE: DLB reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $305 million, within its prior guidance range, as strength in Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and imaging patents was partly offset by deal timing and foundational audio revenue.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the company's financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. "We continue to execute against our full-year objectives, and we are building momentum across several of our key growth areas," said Kevin Yeaman, President and CEO, Dolby Laboratories.

For the second quarter of 2026, Aristotle Capital's Global Equity WM Composite posted a total return of 6.92% pure gross of fees (6.40% net of fees), underperforming the MSCI ACWI Index, which returned 14.93%, and the MSCI World Index, which returned 13.76%. During the quarter, we sold our positions in Danaher, Dolby Laboratories, and Tokyo Century and purchased Techtronic Industries and Wal-Mart de Mexico. Munich Re, the world's largest reinsurance company, was a detractor during the quarter.

Dolby Laboratories is now undervalued after a 50%+ decline from its all-time high, trading at 18.7x FCF and 19.7x earnings. DLB's revenue growth remains choppy, but licensing—especially in Broadcast and Mobile—drives solid results and offers mid-single-digit growth potential. Expansion into automotive and increased adoption of Dolby Atmos/Vision by major platforms and automakers support future growth, with modest price increases feasible.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, will release financial results for the third quarter (Q3) fiscal year 2026 after the close of regular trading on Thursday, July 30, 2026.
