Universal Music Group N.V. (NL0015000L76) stock is trading with a $44.409 billion market capitalization and a $12.19 previous close in the latest Yahoo Finance quote snapshot. The same page shows a 52-week range of $11.28 to $15.85 and a day range of $12.08 to $12.14, with the current earnings-date field still pointing to October 23, 2024 - November 2, 2024.
Meta deal adds a fresh hook
The newest company catalyst is the licensing agreement with Meta Platforms, which expands UMG music use across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. In the same snapshot, UMG's market cap of $44.409 billion sits alongside a beta of 0.84 and a forward dividend yield of 2.25%.
Latest reported figures
For the most recent reported fundamentals visible in the search set, the company page on Universal Music Group Deutschland shows several fresh item updates dated within the last 21 hours to two days, including Agnes Obel's new album announcement and Montez's album release. Those music releases do not change valuation by themselves, but they underline the release cadence inside the catalog that supports the recorded-music business.
The market-data snapshot also shows an EPS (TTM) of $0.45 and a P/E ratio of 26.98. Compared with the 52-week span from $11.28 to $15.85, the latest $12.19 close leaves the shares in the lower half of the range.
Catalog remains the core
UMG's own German site highlights current releases, videos, and tour activity, which keeps the label pipeline visible to fans and investors alike. The artist slate on that page spans Agnes Obel, Montez, Helene Fischer, and The Rolling Stones, a reminder that the company's economics still depend on a deep catalog plus steady new releases.
Price and trading view
The latest quoted close of $12.19 leaves UMG stock between its 52-week low of $11.28 and high of $15.85, with the day's range confined to $12.08 to $12.14 in the snapshot. On that basis, the stock is still trading below the top of its annual band while the Meta agreement gives investors a current operational headline to follow.
