Shares in Universal Music Group fell after hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said his Pershing Square firm would reduce its stake in the world's largest music company.
Shares traded 6.9% lower to 25.97 euros in early European trading, but have risen 5.1% in the year to date.
Pershing decided to sell a portion of its position in Universal Music, Ackman said on X on Thursday. After the sale, Universal Music will remain the fund's largest position at about 17% of its portfolio, down from 27% previously, he added.
Ackman said that Universal Music has substantially outperformed the rest of Pershing Square's portfolio thanks to strong recent results.
