All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Universal), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Universal is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Universal's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.1558 up to $65.9. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Universal's is 0.78. This would suggest that Universal's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Universal P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Universal's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Universal shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Universal's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $268 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Universal's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
