Dolby Laboratories faces significant business risks stemming from its dependence on licensees and OEMs to incorporate its technologies into their products. As most of these agreements are non-exclusive and lack mandatory usage terms, Dolby’s revenue is vulnerable if partners opt not to use their technologies or experience reduced sales. Additionally, economic factors such as semiconductor shortages and weakened consumer spending may further jeopardize revenue streams, especially as many of the products utilizing Dolby’s technologies are discretionary consumer goods. The potential loss of key licensees or customers, coupled with shifts in market demand, underscores the company’s exposure to external market fluctuations and competitive pressures.
Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on DLB stock based on 2 Buys.
