A publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RAY.A, RAY.B), Stingray has over 1,000 employees worldwide and reported trailing twelve-month revenue of approximately $307 million as of late 2025.

Stingray operates as a provider of curated music and video content for both consumers and businesses. Its consumer offerings include music and video streaming services, over-the-top and broadcast television channels (such as Stingray Music, Stingray Karaoke, and Stingray Country), radio broadcasting, and a variety of mobile apps.

As an operating company, Stingray Group's patent litigation profile consists of defending its products and services. The company's single tracked case is as a defendant, a posture typical of technology companies facing infringement claims. This suit was filed in a popular venue for patent litigation, the Western District of Texas.
