Earlier this week, one of those Fools, hend6, succinctly summed up the Dolby bull case for our community:
A very strong balance sheet with a pretty good income statement. Their technologies are everywhere, and presumably they will keep trying to innovate and keep a presence in as many places as possible. May not be terrific for growth, but should stay strong and have no problems maintaining.
