- Carrefour Brazil increased third-quarter like-for-like sales by 1.4 percent despite pressure from high interest rates and negative food volumes.
- Atacadão grew 2.0 percent like for like and gained market share as volume trends improved.
- Carrefour opened two Atacadão stores and expanded its Bulnez private-label range to 300 products.
Carrefour Brazil reported stronger commercial momentum in its cash-and-carry business during the third quarter, while high interest rates continued to weigh on Brazilian consumption. The company released the figures on October 20, 2026, in Carrefour's Q3 sales release.
Atacadao drives Brazil improvement
Brazilian sales increased 1.4 percent on a like-for-like basis in the third quarter. Atacadão delivered 2.0 percent like-for-like growth, improving from 0.5 percent in the second quarter and a 1.0 percent decline in the first quarter. Carrefour said the banner gained further market share as volume momentum improved.
The wider Brazilian market remained challenging, with food volumes still negative and interest rates weighing on consumption. Carrefour Retail sales declined 2.3 percent like for like, while Sam's Club sales increased 3.6 percent, supported by higher volumes and more active members.
Expansion and private label rollout
Carrefour Brazil opened two Atacadão stores during the quarter and continued the rollout of its Bulnez own-brand range, which reached 300 stock-keeping units. The company also continued to prioritize the profitability of its digital business after discontinuing non-food e-commerce operations.
For investors, the figures point to a mixed operating picture: the cash-and-carry banner is improving its sales momentum and market position, while pressure on consumer demand and the weaker retail division remain important factors for the Brazilian business.

Brazilian retail conditions, interest rates and the performance of Atacadão will remain key factors for the company's next operating update.
