Universal rejects billionaire Bill Ackman's takeover bid

Universal Music Group rejected billionaire Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square $64.3bn takeover bid, stating it undervalues the company and is not in stakeholders’ best interests. Ackman sought to list it in the US, but Universal’s board supports its strategy under Sir Lucian Grainge, planning enhanced financial disclosures to better reflect its value, including its music catalog (home to artists like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar) and streaming-driven growth.
