DLBDolby Laboratories, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−0% a year). The price bakes in little to no growth.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 25.0 vs a 29.5 median over 41 quarters (−15% vs median).
Sector median 23.3× across 246 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
