French grocer Carrefour SA is in the early stages of studying ways to boost its valuation, more than three years after talks to sell itself to an industry rival fell apart, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Carrefour is discussing various scenarios internally and speaking to advisers about potential options for the business, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Possibilities under review include asset divestments, growing through partnerships and acquisitions, or an operational reorganization, according to the people.
