You can assign the finalData to a Session or TempData variable.

TempData["FinalData "] = finalData;
return RedirectToAction("ActionName");

From this answer: "TempData Allows you to store data that will survive for a redirect. Internally it uses the Session, it's just that after the redirect is made the data is automatically evicted"

Then in your GET Action Method,

Public ActionResult AcionName()
{
    var finalData = TempData["FinalData"] as IGrouping<string, ModelName>;
    return View("ActionName", finalData);
}

The problem is, if you were to refresh after the redirect, then finalData would be null. So, in that case you use Session["FinalData"] or get the data from the Database in your Get method again. You can go through the answer I have linked for disadvantages of using TempData.
