Valuing Dolby Laboratories stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Dolby Laboratories's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Dolby Laboratories's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, Dolby Laboratories shares trade at around 36x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Dolby Laboratories's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3587. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Dolby Laboratories's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Dolby Laboratories's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $329.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Dolby Laboratories's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.12% of net profits
Recently Dolby Laboratories has paid out, on average, around 30.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.33% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dolby Laboratories shareholders could enjoy a 1.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dolby Laboratories's case, that would currently equate to about $0.97 per share.
While Dolby Laboratories's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dolby Laboratories may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Dolby Laboratories's most recent dividend payout was on 25 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Dolby Laboratories's shares have ranged in value from as little as $68.9502 up to $103.2602. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Dolby Laboratories's is 0.9942. This would suggest that Dolby Laboratories's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
