3i Wraps Up Tough Week, Investors Watch for More Moves in London

3i Group stayed on the back foot, closing out the week with losses despite a late session push. Questions about slowing sales at Action, 3i’s biggest holding, hung over the shares.

The stock lost 2.90% over five days and is off 32.30% since Jan. 1.

3i Rises on £750m Buyback; Action Sale Fears Remain

3i Group shares jumped over 5% on Tuesday. The move came after a new buyback filing, which pulled investors back to a stock still under pressure from weaker growth at Action, the Dutch discounter that makes up most of 3i’s portfolio. FTSE 100 private-equity and infrastructure investor was quoted at 2,193 pence at 15:01 BST, up 5.33% for the session after starting at 2,110 pence, according to Google Finance. Shares are still well under the 52-week high of 4,497 pence.

3i Group slides again even after £750 million buyback

3i Group shares dropped again Monday, building on last week’s losses, as the private-equity investor announced its first buys under a £750 million buyback plan. The stock was trading near 2,060 pence in late morning, off about 7%. The FTSE All-Share showed a small gain. Investors are looking at 3i less as a general private-equity play and more as a listed way to get exposure to Action, the big Dutch discount chain that's the bulk of its holdings. At March 31, 3i put the value of its 65.4% stake in Action at £23.74 billion, out of a total portfolio of £31.82 billion.

3i Shares Bounce Yet Action Sale News Raises New Doubts

3i Group shares rebounded Friday but still finished the week deep in the red. Investors sold off the London-listed investment company after Action, the discount retailer behind much of its growth, reported slower trading. London markets were shut for the weekend, as the London Stock Exchange only offers trading on weekdays. The next trading session is Monday. 3i booked a profit this year. The concern is whether Action’s growth is slowing down just as things could get tricky.

3i Group plc Shares Bounce After Action Sales Shock — The £750 Million Question Now

3i Group plc shares bounced 5.1% to 2,218p by 12:53 p.m. in London, recouping some of Thursday’s sharp losses. The FTSE 100 investment firm, which relies heavily on European discounter Action, saw its stock post the index’s biggest gain late Friday morning after tumbling 12.76% the previous day on weaker Action sales. This is notable: 3i effectively trades as a public-market stand-in for Action these days. As of March 31, the company put a £23.74 billion price tag on its 65.4% holding in Action, out of a total portfolio worth £31.82 billion. That’s about three quarters of everything 3i owns.

3i Group plc Shares Slide Again as Action Growth Fears Put May Results in Focus

3i Group plc dropped another 1.43% to finish Monday at 2,590 pence, marking a steeper loss than the already-slipping FTSE 100.

Timing is key here. 3i’s full-year numbers, covering the period to March 31, are slated for release on May 14. Lately, pretty much all eyes have shifted to Action—the discount retailer out of the Netherlands that’s the main engine behind 3i’s narrative. According to 3i’s investor page, shares traded at 2,590 pence, down 37.5 pence for the day.

3i Group Share Price Hits 52-Week Low Ahead of Action Seminar

3i Group, a constituent of the FTSE 100, finished Friday at 2,701 pence—its lowest close in a year—after dropping 2.28%. The shares lagged behind a sharply weaker London market, landing at the bottom of their 12-month range. The recent slide is notable: 3i shares have slipped about 10.6% since the close on March 17. At this point, the stock sits roughly 9.4% under the post-dividend NAV of 2,980.5 pence that was reported for Dec. 31. For investment firms like this, NAV—net asset value—serves as a basic gauge of the portfolio’s worth after subtracting debt.
