French Grocery Market Competition Intensifies With Online and Paris Market at the Forefront

After taking a fresh look at the two French grocers under our coverage, we are reducing our Carrefour fair value estimate to EUR 17.90 per share from EUR 18.50 and our Casino fair value estimate to EUR 32 per share from EUR 52. Although we are maintaining our no-moat ratings for both, we have changed our previously stable moat trend rating for Casino to negative and are reiterating Carrefour's negative moat trend rating on the back of intense competition in the French grocery market.
