Investors flocked into the French media conglomerate Vivendi on Monday after it unveiled plans to spin off the lucrative Universal Music Group, a move long sought by analysts as well as its own top shareholders.
Vivendi owns 80 percent of UMG, whose artists and catalogue range from the Beatles to Lady Gaga, after recently selling 20 percent to China's Tencent group.
In December, Universal shocked many in the industry by announcing a deal to secure the rights to Bob Dylan's entire back catalogue of songs, reportedly for more than $300 million.
On Saturday, the company said it would study the distribution of 60 percent of UMG to Vivendi shareholders in order to reduce what it called a 'conglomerate discount.'
'Vivendi's leading institutional shareholders have been pressing for a number of years for a split or the distribution of Universal Music Group,' it said.
Vivendi said UMG, which would be listed on the Amsterdam stock market, could be worth at least 30 billion euros ($36.4 billion).
The deal, set to be voted on at a shareholder meeting in March, sent Vivendi's stock rocketing 18 percent higher to 30.82 euros in Paris.
The company's other assets range from movies and TV production to publishing and advertising.
'In 2022, Vivendi should be refocused on all its other main units (mainly Groupe Canal+, Editis and Havas) alongside its minority holdings' including UMG as well as Lagardere, Prisa and Spotify,' the Paris brokerage OddoBHF commented in a note.

Spin-off Pokémon games are games that are not part of the core series or side series. These games vary widely in genre, and cover many different consoles and handheld game systems. Sometimes, it is possible to connect the core series games to certain spin-off games in order to get a reward, normally a special Pokémon.
In Japanese, Korean and Chinese, the names of the spin-off games use Pokémon (Japanese: ポケモン, Korean: 포켓몬, Chinese: 寶可夢 / 宝可梦) instead of Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター, Korean: 포켓몬스터, Chinese: 精靈寶可夢 / 精灵宝可梦).
