Note however, debt could still be an excellent tool for Dolby to invest in growth at high rates of return.

The market value of Dolby Laboratories is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Dolby that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Dolby Laboratories' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Dolby Laboratories' true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Dolby Laboratories' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Dolby Laboratories' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Dolby Laboratories is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
