The debt-to-equity ratio for Dolby Laboratories has consistently been at 0.00 for each reporting period listed from September 30, 2019, to September 30, 2024. This indicates that the company has not utilized any debt to finance its operations and has relied solely on equity for its capital structure. A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00 could suggest that the company is not leveraging its operations with debt and may have a conservative financial strategy. Since there is no debt in the capital structure, the company may have lower financial risk compared to companies with higher debt levels, but on the other hand, it may also mean the company is not taking advantage of potential tax benefits associated with debt financing.
