No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 15 Dec 2025.
Carrefour, founded in 1959, is a Retail & Commerce company based in Massy, France. Its directors and officers file their transactions with AMF. The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 14 filings signed by 5 insiders.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 3 purchases (1 insider, €32.2M) and 4 sales (2 insiders, €1.2M). Taken together, the purchases exceed the sales by €31.0M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €13.5M from CARRIX societe par actions simplifiee, disclosed on 9 December 2025. Those buying include 1 board member.
Compared with its exchange (316 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 14 filings is above the norm. Our records for Carrefour go back to 2021, with 5 purchases and 9 sales on the open market in total.
The clock since the last published purchase (15 December 2025) now reads 306 days. Filings reach the AMF feed a median of 4 days after the trade. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (MAR article 19). A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at GameStop Corp. and Celsius Holdings, Inc. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by AMF. They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.

Carrefour is one of the world’s leading food retail and convenience distribution groups, listed in Paris under ISIN FR0000120172. The company was founded in 1959 by the Fournier and Defforey families, and it opened its first hypermarket in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois in 1963, a milestone that helped define the modern European hypermarket model. Today, Carrefour operates a multi-format business combining hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, cash & carry, soft-discount banners and e-commerce, enabling it to serve a broad range of consumer needs. The group also offers related services, including banking, insurance, travel, vehicle rental and parcel pickup/drop-off.
Its business model is organized around food retail, non-food categories and value-added services, with a growing emphasis on omnichannel execution. Carrefour.com, marketplace activity, Drive apps, home delivery, express delivery and quick-commerce solutions strengthen the link between physical stores and digital channels. The group also highlights its private-label ranges, certified products, organic offerings and sustainable food initiatives, while maintaining long-term relationships with producers and suppliers across its supply chain.
Geographically, Carrefour has a broad international footprint, anchored in France but also highly visible across Europe, Latin America and other markets. At the end of 2024, the group operated 6,083 branded stores in Europe excluding France, while its global network exceeds 15,000 stores in more than 40 countries. This scale gives Carrefour a strong competitive position in mass retail, even as the industry faces persistent margin pressure, changing consumer behavior and the rapid digitization of shopping habits.
Carrefour is also notable for its strategic transformation. The company continues to expand convenience retail, develop cash & carry and soft-discount formats, and embed ESG criteria into its operating model. It places emphasis on food transition, diversity and inclusion, and climate-related commitments validated by external benchmarks. Overall, Carrefour combines scale, diversification and digital transition, making it a core reference name in French and European retail.
