Analysis

Bargain bin

Carrefour SA falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause.

The price is expensive. You pay 56.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 20% yearly growth; analysts expect 5%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is fragile. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
