Carrefour stock (ISIN FR0000120172) fell 2.08 percent to EUR 15.325 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, at 5:36 p.m. CEST. The latest analyst move was cautious: AlphaValue and Baader Europe reduced their target from EUR 16.60 to EUR 16.50 while keeping a Reduce rating, according to Boursorama on October 2, 2026.

Target cut meets a weaker chart

The EUR 15.325 reference price was below the EUR 15.60 technical support discussed in the latest market report. Carrefour traded between EUR 15.325 and EUR 15.730 during the October 2 session, with 2,635,968 shares changing hands.

The share price stood 12.6 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 17.535 and 21.9 percent above its 52-week low of EUR 12.575. That spread places the stock closer to its annual low than its annual peak, despite a 16.90 percent one-year gain shown in the market data.

Cost savings support the earnings case

Carrefour's first-half 2026 revenue totaled EUR 40.404 billion, a decline of 5.4 percent from the comparable period, while EBITDA reached EUR 1.865 billion and net income EUR 30 million, as reported by Ideal Investisseur in its October 2, 2026 report.

The same first-half update showed EUR 490 million of cost savings against Carrefour's EUR 1 billion full-year plan. The company also confirmed its 2026 objective for operating margin growth of more than 25 basis points versus 2025, giving investors a clear operational comparison alongside the weaker revenue figure.

Third-quarter date is set

Carrefour is scheduled to publish third-quarter sales on October 20, 2026, according to the company's financial calendar presented by Boursorama. The coming sales release will test whether cost savings and progress in core markets can offset price investment and pressure in weaker regions.

Carrefour stock stays below its yearly peak

Carrefour stock was last at EUR 15.325 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, with market capitalization of EUR 11.3 billion and a 52-week range of EUR 12.575 to EUR 17.535.
