Shares of broader tech companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

In the current session, Dolby Laboratories Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLB#NYSE">DLB</a>) is trading at $70.85, after a 2.26% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 14.36%, and in the past year, by 15.99%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744059618_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Dolby Laboratories P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Dolby Laboratories has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 67.27 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744059618_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into Dolby Laboratories Inc's Price Over Earnings

Movie theater operator AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) is betting big on premium screens to add to its revenue over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44562437/whats-going-on-with-amc-entertainment-stock-monday">next several years.</a>
The move comes with several of the top film franchises of all time having movies set for release.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42750888/top-anticipated-2025-movies-for-big-screen-success-and-stocks-investors-should-watch">2025 theatrical movie lineup </a>includes three Marvel films from Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and plenty of other highly anticipated movies from franchises of old and new.
While 2025 could have a strong post-COVID-19 box office total, AMC has its sights set on 2025, 2026 and 2027.
The company recently announced it was adding 40 Dolby Cinema theaters through the end of 2027. The new additions will bring AMC's total number of Dolby premium screens to more than 200, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/31/amc-premium-screens-hollywood-movies.html">CNBC</a>.
"Premium moviegoing is defining the modern box office," Dolby Laboratories CEO Kevin Yeaman said.
Dolby Laboratories Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLB#NYSE">DLB</a>) is one of several premium screen formats and partners with AMC.
AMC also recently announced a partnership with CJ 4DPLEX for 40 4DX theaters and 25 SCREENX theaters to be opened across the U.S. and Europe beginning in the summer of 2025. This marks the first partnership between the two companies.
The premium format movie screens being added come ahead of a strong movie lineup that AMC CEO Adam Aron has been highlighting for more than a year. From 2025 to 2027, new films will be released from the Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Avatar, Marvel, DC Comics and Mission Impossible franchises.
Premium large format screens come with a higher ticket price for consumers and a way for AMC to add to its overall revenue. PLFs made up around 9.1% of the 2024 domestic box office, representing a total of $600 million split between multiple theater companies.
AMC has over 900 movie theaters and 10,000 screens worldwide as the world's largest movie theater company. The newest bets on premium format screens could add to the company's excitement for the coming box office lineup.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43958798/amc-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-attendance-up-20-shares-climb">the fourth quarter</a>, AMC reported attendance of 62.42 million, which was up 20.2% year-over-year. The company also reported its highest fourth-quarter food and beverage per person revenue in company history.
With higher attendance and more revenue from premium screens, along with increasing food and beverage revenue, the next three years could be key to the AMC turnaround story.

AMC Post-COVID-19: For several years, Aron has discussed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38184776/amc-ceo-says-bankruptcy-is-inconceivable-as-shares-hit-52-week-lows-2025-2026-are-going-to-">post-COVID-19 recovery efforts</a> from AMC, which have included focusing on food and beverage and non-movie opportunities such as Taylor Swift concert films to offset less blockbuster movie releases.
A recent <a href="https://x.com/CEOAdam/status/1906823615737413781">tweet </a>from Aron mentioning the post-COVID-19 time period caught a reply of "the only CEO in the world still talking about covid!" from a social media user.
Aron felt the need to reply with "the facts" that people want to ignore.
"The industry-wide domestic box office in movie theatres was over $11 billion five years in a row pre-Covid. It was over $10 billion eleven years in a row pre-Covid," Aron said.
The CEO said the industry posted domestic box office of $8.8 billion in 2024, down over 20% from 2019 levels.
"When a high fixed cost industry like the movie theatre industry loses 20% of its revenue, its profits and cash balances plummet by far more."
Aron said the movie theater industry "has not fully recovered yet" and the recovery is taking longer than many expected or hoped.
"We are optimistic that a rising box office over the next year or two will be a great boon for AMC."
Aron also brushed off concerns about his salary in another <a href="https://x.com/CEOAdam/status/1907002331906077007">tweet</a>.
"I understand why you would be distraught if my salary was $23 million per year. Except that it isn't."
Aron said his salary is $1.5 million annually, as he has requested no raises. He is also paid cash bonuses related to company performance. The CEO said these amounts are less than one-third of his publicly reported total compensation, due to reporting of AMC share compensation.
"The bulk of my total compensation is in AMC stock."
Aron said he has not sold one share of AMC stock in more than three years. 
AMC Price Action: AMC stock is down 2.95% to $2.80 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $2.38 to $11.88. AMC stock is down 30.9% year-to-date in 2025.

The expansion will bring AMC&#8217;s total Dolby Cinema theaters to over 200. The companies also agreed to extend their commitment to the existing Dolby Cinema network.
&#8220;For a decade, AMC and Dolby have provided moviegoers with incredible premium experiences &#8211; making the biggest blockbusters even bigger, brighter, louder, and more immersive,&#8221; said&nbsp;Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment. 
&#8220;The expansion of this partnership is a powerful demonstration of AMC&#8217;s ongoing commitment to deliver this premium experience – sought out by filmmakers, studio partners, and our guests – to even more of our theaters and AMC moviegoers around&nbsp;the United States.&#8221;
