Carrefour is a state of crisis both internally (the newly appointed ceo is quoted as having "vowed to clean the mess", several high ranking executives have been shown the door or been effectively demoted) and externally (shares have been tumbling for quite a while). Anything is possible but, to me, an attempt to raise valuation is the most likely explanation. Sources are always "analysts" who seem to have skin in the game.
