Analyst projections of the future price of 3i Group stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Action’s sales and operating EBITDA both grew 14% and 13% respectively in the six months to late June, while like-for-like sales rose 3.6%. That strong trading helped lift 3i’s NAV per share to 3,131p at quarter-end. (3i Group)
Action added 121 stores in the first half of 2026 and remains on track to open at least 400 this year. Continued expansion gives 3i a further route to grow earnings beyond like-for-like sales gains. (3i Group)
The shares were reported at a 23% discount to NAV, leaving room for a recovery if confidence in the portfolio improves. 3i’s planned £750m buyback also reduces the share count and may support value per share. (The Twelfth Magpie, 3i Group)
Action’s like-for-like sales growth was 2.4% year to date in May, against a 6.8% comparison, and improved to 3.6% for the first half. The slowdown, including flat year-to-date trading in France and Germany in May, raises questions about how quickly growth can regain its earlier pace. (3i Group, 3i Group)
Action represents roughly three-quarters of 3i’s investment portfolio, and 3i values its stake using an 18.5-times EBITDA multiple. This concentration means a lower valuation or weaker performance at Action could materially reduce 3i’s NAV. (3i Group, Proactive Investors)
Foreign-exchange movements cut 3i’s NAV by £276m, or 27p per share, in the first quarter. Further currency swings could weigh on reported returns even if the underlying businesses keep trading well. (3i Group)
