FTSE 100 movers: Beazley hit by Hurricane woes; 3i Group boosted by Citi note
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.5% at 8,125.77 in afternoon trade on Tuesday. Insurer Beazley was under the cosh amid worries about the impact of Hurricane Beryl.
Sainsbury's was also in the red as it reported a slowdown in first-quarter like-for-like sales growth on the back of declines in general merchandise sales and at its Argos division.
Total retail sales excluding fuel increased by 2.6% year-on-year in the 16 weeks to 22 June, with like-for-like sales rising by 2.7%. That's down from the 4.8% LFL growth seen in the fourth quarter of the previous financial year and 7.4% growth in the third.
On the upside, 3i Group was among the gainers after Citi lifted its price target on the shares to 3,800p from 2,650p, implying around 25% upside.
"We value 3i Group's 55% stake in Action, a pan-European discount retailer, at £30bn. This is in line with 3i Group's £30bn market cap and excludes upside from a potential expansion outside of Europe," it said.
"We estimate 7%+ LFL sales growth until 2030 and 15%+ sales growth, while Action's fast inventory turnover and negative working capital makes this growth self-funding," it said.
"We model 3i Group receiving £14bn of dividends from Action by 2031."
