    Universal Music Group maintains a capital structure with no dilution risk, as basic and diluted shares outstanding are equal at 1.834 billion shares. However, liquidity risk could not be assessed due to the absence of balance-sheet inputs and no going-concern language in source documents. The company's valuation snapshot is not available, but analyst price targets suggest a wide range from 15.00 EUR to 31.00 EUR, with a mean of 24.41 EUR and a median of 24.00 EUR.
