Électricité de France S.A. (literally, Electricity of France), commonly known as EDF, is a French multinational electric utility company. The operations include electricity generation and distribution, power plant design, construction and dismantling, energy trading and transport. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Paris, France, the company is largely owned by the French state. EDF is a part of CAC Next 20 index. Even though the energy stock demonstrates a high attraction like that of E.ON from Germany, the stock price has strongly depreciated in 12,5 years. As a matter of fact, it has lost 93% of its value from November 2007 to March 2020.

Therefore, investors can be looking to buy the french giant EDF in order to diversify their portfolio by indirect investment in rising commodity prices.
