Dolby has a fantastic history of churning out free cash flow.
With an ROE of 22% and OM of 44% it's no wonder. They have a perfect business model, able to make transitions easily and piggy-back on any of the latest technologies that do audio output. What's more, even during recessions and economic downturns they have such a well-placed business strategy that they manage to grow profits either way.
For example:
The past 52 weeks have seen a hard decrease in the overall market, with the SP 500, even after the last month's run-up, trading a discount of over 10% compared ...

Does anyone know why the recent sell off? Was it the morgan stanley downgrade........right before earnings----giving us a buy opportunity? In the IBD 100, it has gone up to number 17 from 40something. HDTV is a fact, it's not going away. US mandates it in February 2009. All my co-workers have bought and are buying huge HDTVs, then buying blue ray players, and antennas, and HD dvds, and everyone is carrying a new multimedia laptop. The fundamentals are in place.

Every high tech HD/dvd/PC, audio product has dolby in it. Dolby licenses its products. They have virutally no competition. As more and more HD products are sold, and as more and more PCs are sold, Dolby makes more money. Buy it at $32, ride it to $40 easy during the tech season (through the end of the year).
