Music stocks are shares of publicly traded companies involved in producing, distributing, performing, or monetizing music — for example record labels, streaming platforms, music publishers and rights managers, live-event promoters, and audio-equipment makers. Investors buy music stocks to gain exposure to revenue streams such as streaming royalties, licensing, concerts and merchandise.
