3i Group buyback now at 38% with shares lagging NAV ahead of Action update

3i Group plc has repurchased almost 40% of its £750 million buyback after shares slid in May following weaker Action sales, leaving its share discount the key number ahead of the July 23 update. 3i shares traded at 2,624p, down 0.23%, as of 16:49 London time Tuesday. The FTSE 100 closed 0.1% higher at 10,655.88. The price matters with 3i trading under reported net asset value. As of March 31, the company showed diluted NAV per share at 3,030p. It’s also paying a 48p final dividend on July 24. After adjusting for the dividend, Tuesday’s share price is 12.0% below the March NAV.

3i Group up as buyback aims to close NAV gap ahead of Action update

3i Group plc picked up for a second day on Friday, finishing 26p higher at 2,611p as the blue-chip FTSE 100 Index also pushed up. The FTSE 100 closed at 10,679.03, adding 0.25% for the day, with gains from financials and miners driving a weekly rise. Investors are less focused on Friday’s 1% shift. The main question now is if shares are finally narrowing the gap with 3i’s latest reported asset value, after a May dip blamed on slower growth at Action, the Dutch discounter that is a big piece of 3i’s portfolio.

3i Group share price slips as Action worries keep FTSE 100 stock on deep NAV discount

The move was small, but it came after a sharp rebound late last week: MarketWatch reported that 3i rose 3.78% on Friday to close at £23.09, outperforming the FTSE 100 that day. The reason investors are still focused on the share price is the gap between 3i’s market value and its portfolio value.

3i Group Shares Climb; NAV Discount and Action Uncertainty in Focus

3i Group plc shares bounced 3.78% to £23.09 on Friday, ending the week higher as the broader London market also gained. The stock outpaced the FTSE 100’s 1.63% jump for the day after adding 1.74% on Thursday. Even with the two-day rally, shares remain down 48.65% from their 52-week high of £44.97 set on October 27, 2025. 3i’s rally is worth noting. The company is a listed private-equity and infrastructure investor, and the share price often gets measured against its net asset value, or NAV, basically the estimated value of what it owns minus debts. AJ Bell data put 3i at about a 24% discount to its estimated NAV, so the shares are trading much lower than the group says

3i stock rises with buyback backing Action outlook

3i Group plc gained Thursday, bouncing as some investors stepped in after the heavy selling linked to Action last month.

The FTSE 100 index added 0.98%. 3i shares moved harder than the wider market. Hargreaves Lansdown quoted 3i at 2,241p to sell and 2,242p to buy, higher from a last close of 2,187p. Market value was shown around £21.5 billion with a latest NAV of 3,030p per share.
