Carrefour Reports Solid Q3 2026 Sales Amid Adjusted Financial Projections

Carrefour's Q3 2026 sales rose by 2.3% like-for-like (LFL), mirroring the first half of the year. In France, sales increased by 1.2% LFL, bolstered by price competitiveness. Spain saw a 2.1% LFL sales growth due to volume increases. Brazil's Atacadão led with a 1.4% LFL sales rise despite economic challenges. The company continues implementing its Carrefour 2030 plan, enhancing price competitiveness, expanding store formats, and utilizing digital and AI tools. E-commerce surged by 18%. However, due to worsening social and security conditions in France, Carrefour revised its 2026 financial targets, anticipating modest increases in operating margins and a slight decline in net free cash flow.
