Analyst Comments

Share price breakout opens the door for a return towards May highs. UK 100  Investment company involved in private equity, infrastructure and debt management round the world. Decent 3.5% dividend yield. The shares rallied 5% after full year results in May.

Consensus is bullish with 83% of brokers suggesting Buy (none say Sell). All broker targets suggest upside from current levels, to a 12-month average target of 1045p, well above our target of revisiting May highs.

Risks to 3i shares include a disappointing Q1 report on 25 July; a global equity market slump; a sharp rise in interest rates could make investment more expensive; limited broker coverage; any struggles to sell investments could impact profitability.

Next Event: Q1 Performance update, 25 Jul (7am)
