3i Group PLC (LSE:III) successfully increased its core stake in retail business Action following a new share issuance and saw its forecasts updated by Deutsche Bank. The investment firm traded steadily at 2,822p as the broker maintained a 'buy' rating and raised its target price from 3,527p to 3,570p.

3i Group is a world-class compounder, with Action comprising 75% of NAV and driving robust growth. Action's dominant European discount retail model features high margins, rapid payback, and a negative cash conversion cycle, fueling self-sustaining expansion. Current 3i valuation implies a steep discount to Action's peers, despite superior growth, profitability, and cash conversion metrics.
