3i Group PLC reported strong financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Net asset value (NAV) per share increased 19% to GBP 30.30, driven by a strong performance from its investment in Action.
The company's stock fell 12.39%, reflecting investor concerns over geopolitical uncertainty and portfolio challenges. Despite this, 3i achieved a 22% return on equity, well above its 15% target.
Action, the discount retailer, contributed significantly with a 25% gross investment return. CEO Simon Borrows stated, "Our strong NAV growth and return on equity demonstrate the effectiveness of our investment strategy."
3i plans to continue expanding Action's market presence and store count, maintaining a strong balance sheet.
