The structural profiles are close, with The Kroger Co carrying a narrow edge on valuation. Carrefour still has the edge on valuation, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. In the market, Carrefour carries the stronger setup — intact trend against The Kroger Co's broken trend. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with The Kroger Co, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Peer scores are normalised within each company's primary universe (CA.PA: STOXX 600, KR: S&P 500).
The page question resolves through valuation, where Carrefour SA holds the stronger read even though the broader score still favours The Kroger Co..
Both operate in: Grocery Stores
This comparison is based on industry proximity, not on functional trajectory similarity. CA.PA and KR share the same industry classification.
For a similarity-based comparison, see how Carrefour and The Kroger Co each position within their functional peer groups in AssetNext.
Scores reflect position relative to comparable companies with similar long-term financial trajectories.
The largest gaps do not all point in the same direction.
Left means cheaper relative valuation. Higher means stronger structure.
The Kroger Co. occupies the cheaper side of the setup map, although Carrefour SA still holds the stronger structural profile.
Valuation position uses peer-relative PE percentile (idx_pct_pe) where available.
Where CA.PA and KR each sit in their own 5-year price and valuation history.

The peer-relative valuation gap is wide, with the stronger side also looking meaningfully cheaper.
On the market side, Carrefour carries the stronger trend while The Kroger Co's trend has broken — the market setup does not confirm the structural advantage.
The lead is built on both valuation and growth — though valuation still provides a counterweight.

AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
