Alternative ways to invest in Universal Music Group
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 Music Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Universal Music Group is a major part of the PINK, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Universal Music Group under- or over-valued?
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 Music Group P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Universal Music Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Universal Music Group's shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.
However, Universal Music Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Sirius XM Holding (SIRI.US): 6.87
- Tencent Holdings Ltd ADR (TCEHY.US): 24.41
- Sony Group Corporation (SNE.US): 13.52
Universal Music Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.744. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Universal Music Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Universal Music Group's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Sirius XM Holding (SIRI.US): 0.65
- Tencent Holdings Ltd ADR (TCEHY.US): 0.65
- Sony Group Corporation (SNE.US): 1.94
Universal Music Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.8 billion (£1.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Universal Music Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Sirius XM Holding (SIRI.US): USD$2.6 billion
- Tencent Holdings Ltd ADR (TCEHY.US): USD$213.1 billion
- Sony Group Corporation (SNE.US): USD$11.7 billion
