3i Group stock slips as NAV discount widens
Published on 08/25/2026 at 19:10 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
3i Group (GB00B1YW4409) traded at 2,914.00p on August 25, 2026, down 19.00p or 0.65%, while its estimated net asset value stood at 3,094.154p and the discount to NAV was 9.99%.
NAV gap stays in view
The same facts frame the day for investors: the share price sat below the estimated NAV by 180.154p, and the market capitalization shown in the same factsheet was 27,185.76m. That makes the valuation gap the clearest current marker in the stock.
For context, the portfolio value line in the same factsheet showed 976.15m, giving a dated snapshot of balance-sheet scale alongside the quoted share price. The comparison is simple and concrete: a 0.65% one-day decline sits against a 9.99% discount to NAV.
What the portfolio means
3i Group's core investment model is built around active ownership and portfolio value creation, so the discount to NAV matters more than a stand-alone price move. The August 25, 2026 factsheet is the freshest evidence in hand for that framework, and it points to valuation rather than earnings momentum as the main debate.
The stock also sits within a broader UK large-cap backdrop that was firmer on the day, with the FTSE 350 shown at 5,932.97, up 0.30%.
Product exposure
One representative holding is Action, the European discount retailer that has long been central to 3i's private-equity style portfolio. That kind of asset mix is why net asset value and portfolio marks remain the key figures to watch.
Closing level
3i Group shares were at 2,914.00p on August 25, 2026, versus an estimated NAV of 3,094.154p. The gap leaves the stock trading below the portfolio value implied by the factsheet.
