UBS reaffirms buy on 3i Group as Action's sales recovery boosts outlook

UBS has maintained its 'buy' rating on 3i Group PLC, highlighting improving sales at Action, its key holding that represents over 70% of its portfolio. Evidence from anonymized card spending data shows continued sales growth in France and Germany, signaling a recovery after a previous slump. UBS forecasts 4.2% like-for-like sales growth and 11% earnings growth for Action this year, with 3i's half-year results in November expected to provide further proof of recovery. The shares could rise if confidence returns, narrowing the valuation gap between market price and book value.
