0814 GMT - Universal Music Group's financial targets through the end of 2028 should be well received by investors, Citi analysts write in a research note. The record label behind Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande is forecasting a compound annual growth rate for revenue at constant currencies of more than 7%, with subscription revenue growing 8% to 10%. The analysts say Universal's target is encouraging as current Visible Alpha consensus looks for subscription and streaming growth of just about 6% into the medium-term. Meanwhile, adjusted Ebitda--Universal's preferred measure of profitability--is expected to grow more than 10% at constant currencies, also an encouraging development according to the analysts since margins will continue to expand. Universal Music shares trade 3.3% higher at 24.16 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
