NAV rises to GBp 3,131.00

3i Group's latest operating reference is net asset value rather than recurring sales or operating margin. According to Openbook Analytics, NAV per share reached GBp 3,131.00 for the quarter to June 30, 2026, up 3.00 percent from GBp 3,030.00 at March 31, 2026.

The same analysis states that 3i Group generated a total return of GBP 5.304 billion in fiscal year 2026, compared with GBP 5.049 billion in fiscal year 2025. That is a 5.05 percent increase in absolute return, although the return on opening shareholders' funds declined from 25.00 percent to 22.00 percent.

Action remains the central exposure

Portfolio concentration is the main counterweight to the NAV growth. Openbook Analytics reports that Action represented 75.00 percent of total portfolio value at March 31, 2026, making the discount retailer the decisive driver of 3i Group's asset valuation.

Action generated net sales of EUR 8.348 billion and operating EBITDA of EUR 1.108 billion in the 26 weeks to June 28, 2026, up 14.00 percent and 13.00 percent respectively from the comparable period. Like-for-like sales growth was 3.60 percent, while the business added 121 stores during the first half of the year.

Consensus target remains above price

Zonebourse lists an average analyst target of GBP 33.94 from 12 analysts, compared with a reference price of GBP 27.11 on September 22, 2026. The target lies 25.20 percent above that reference price, while the published high and low targets span GBP 42.05 and GBP 19.00.

The next reporting date is listed as November 12, 2026, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027. Until then, the key measures are Action's like-for-like growth, store expansion and the valuation multiple applied to its earnings.
