Dolby Laboratories stock (ISIN US25659T1079) was last at USD 58.35 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.19 percent. According to PR Newswire on October 7, 2026, Dolby Atmos will join Dolby Vision for Formula 1 coverage on Apple TV, beginning with the U.S. Grand Prix.

Formula 1 expands Dolby reach

The rollout begins on October 23, 2026, and covers supported Apple devices, Dolby-enabled televisions, soundbars and home theater systems. Dolby and Apple said the audio format will reproduce team radio, commentary, engine noise and pit-lane sound in a more immersive presentation.

The announcement gives Dolby another distribution channel for its core audio technology. It also places Dolby Atmos inside a live sports service that Apple describes as the exclusive U.S. home of Formula 1, creating a concrete showcase beyond movies, television and gaming.

Revenue fell to USD 305.0 million

According to MarketBeat in its October 2, 2026 report, fiscal Q3 revenue reached USD 305.0 million, down 3.3 percent from the prior-year quarter. The same report said fiscal 2026 earnings guidance stood at USD 4.25-4.40 per share, while quarterly EPS of USD 0.69 exceeded the USD 0.67 consensus estimate.

The comparison matters because the latest quarter combined weaker revenue with an earnings beat. Dolby also authorized a USD 350.0 million share repurchase program on July 30, 2026, according to MarketBeat, equal to up to 7 percent of outstanding stock.

Consensus target reaches USD 87.50

MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from three analysts, with targets spanning USD 85.00 to USD 90.00 and an average of USD 87.50. The average target lies 50.0 percent above the USD 58.35 NYSE price, a wide gap that puts execution against the revenue decline at the center of the valuation debate.

The stock's USD 58.35 level was 18.2 percent below its 52-week high of USD 71.34 on October 7, 2026. Market capitalization stood at USD 5.6 billion, while 691,016 shares traded during the session.
