On conventional investment trust criteria, III is very much over valued. Buying or holding the shares is thus an act of pure faith in the management, imo, rather than the usual math of IT share analysis.

But this situation is not new, it's been like this for some time now.

Deutsche Bank Research raises 3i to 'buy' (hold) - price target 4,037 (2,918) pence

Analysts at RBC Capital Markets downgraded 3i Group from 'outperform' to 'sector perform' on Monday, citing valuation grounds.RBC said it views 3i Group as a "best-in-class business", with a "conservative but successful" model and a strong management team."This is evidenced by III's outperformance in the last few years, despite challenging macro backdrop," said RBC, which has a 3,425.0p target price on the stock.The Canadian bank stated a "good chunk" of this outperformance had been driven by Action, which it views as "a very high-quality retailer".However, RBC noted that 3i's share price has risen more than 140% in the last three years, and it now views the shares as more fairly valued.

Yes, a holding in III is largely based on trusting the management rather than on math, because the normal investment trust valuation method is to compare net assets with the share price. The norm would be a discount but III stands at a very large premium.

Furthermore due to the unlisted nature of their investments, NAV has to be estimated so is never really verifiable.

Criticisms of the above two points were behind the recent bear raid on III.

As you say, they have rewarded our belief with great returns over time but imo the share remains a bet on the quality of management rather than on quantitative investment criteria.

FWIW my thoughts are as follows;

- Been a shareholder for many years and 3i Group has performed excellently over time
- Its track record suggests it is not the sort of company that would willingly allow itself to be prone to outside short sellers
- If it has an investee weighting problem such as Action, albeit a 'positive' one, then I am confident it will address the problem in good time.
- Simon Borrows comes across as a really good CEO and he/3i Group have consistently delivered excellent value for shareholders over many years

That all said, taking some profits from time to time is good practice - I did so some time ago at £24/share - but I remain a long term holder

All IMHO

steeplejack i sold out a lot earlier on the basis that competition would make it more difficult to keep the returns going. but with scale comes buying power and they continue to offer average quality products at low prices or lower quality products at even lower prices. its stuff that you need now that doesnt make sense to buy online. i would also suggest that while they currently have no plans to, if they were to make a move on the uk, thats when the story could unravel as competition there is v fierce from b&m and others. i think they have been boxing clever so far and avoiding fights (heres looking at you aj) and europe is still pretty fragmented. so if valuation is all its about i think matthew earl is going to miss on this one. at some point but not yet id guess but its still fair to say a lot is in the price but i wouldnt go any further than that.

The Times article does not consider Action's valuation to be 'unreasonable' but points out that the holding now accounts for 60% of 3i's portfolio compared to just 10% back in 2013.It depends when you joined the party but clearly the suggestion that one should take a few profits is probably prudent.(Thereagain,you could of made a cogent case for top slicing when the 3i share price was ten pounds lower.)

III Director buys 16k at 3268.87p.
Posted at 20/6/2024 08:03 by anhar
Interesting move this morning, the shares went xd a 34.5p payout yet the price has risen 9p at the moment. Normally on xd a share price falls by roughly the value of the divi though there are the usual other forces acting on it all the time. In this case those other forces must be strong demand, enough to overcome the xd effect and then some.

I did see the large director buy. That doesn't change my view that Action's massive growth to date must at some stage slow down, hitting the value of Action shares and consequently those of III whose great performance has clearly benefited from the growth of Action. With III at a huge premium and its dependency on Action, any difficulty with the valuation of Action may have a severely negative impact on III shares.

I think it's a question of when to exit Action, wholly or partly, or if you like, how long to let winners run, a tricky decision no doubt and I hope they manage this favourably. I'm more than satisfied with III growth and especially the divi increases as I'm primarily a long term hold income investor, but am a little concerned about its dependency on one major holding which invites a lot of risk.
