Company profile

Stingray Group Inc., also known as Stingray, is a Canadian music, media, and technology company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. Founded in 2007, the company is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RAY. Stingray is a substantial enterprise, employing approximately 900-1,200 individuals globally, and reported annual revenues of approximately $300-$390 million, with a market capitalization of around $830-$850 million as of June 2026.

Stingray provides a diverse range of multi-platform music and video services to both consumers and businesses across approximately 160 countries. Its offerings include digital audio services, internet radio, music television channels, and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) content. The company also operates over 96 terrestrial radio stations, making it a major radio broadcaster in Canada. Additionally, Stingray offers business solutions such as in-store music, digital signage, in-car infotainment, and advertising services, including operating one of North America's largest retail audio advertising networks. Popular consumer products include Stingray Music, Stingray Karaoke, and Qello Concerts by Stingray.

Based on its patent litigation history, Stingray Group Inc. operates as a defendant in intellectual property disputes. The company has been named as a defendant in two tracked cases and has not initiated any patent lawsuits as a plaintiff. This posture indicates Stingray Group Inc. is an operating company defending its products and services from infringement claims, rather than a non-practicing entity (NPE) asserting patents.

Both of Stingray's tracked cases are titled Dr. Edwin A. Hernandez et al. v. Stingray Group Inc. f/k/a Stingray Digital Group, Inc. et al., filed on April 2, 2024. These cases are being litigated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, and the Southern District of Florida, respectively. The company's legal name, "f/k/a Stingray Digital Group, Inc.," reflects its name change in December 2018.
