3i Group plc shares hit 52-week low as Action worries erase January rally
3i Group shares fell 2.89% to 2,927 pence on Monday, hitting a new 52-week low as doubts persisted over future growth at its main asset, discount retailer Action. The stock closed below Hargreaves Lansdown’s estimated NAV of 3,030.14 pence. 3i valued its Action stake at £22.4 billion in January and reported strong sales growth, but analysts warn returns may slow. Investors await more detail at a March seminar.
