Overview
This listing features sound recording royalties for iconic country artist Doug Stone.
Over the past four years, the catalog has achieved a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.45%, placing it in the top quartile of all analyzed catalogs by Royalty Exchange, indicating a strong growth trajectory relative to many other music catalogs.
The catalog demonstrates notable stability, with Last 12 Months (LTM) earnings deviating by less than 1.3% from the 3-Year Average, indicating consistent revenue performance over time.
A particularly notable metric in this analysis is the Dollar Age of 35.30 years. This suggests that the songs in this catalog have been generating revenue for an average of nearly 35 years, which implies a strong staying power and likely a consistent appeal to listeners. Typically, a higher Dollar Age correlates with more stable and predictable earnings, as older songs that continue to generate revenue often do so through established channels and have a dedicated listener base.
