Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $57.4B in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Électricité de France (EDF) is a French energy company that generates and sells electricity to homes, businesses, and governments. It is one of the largest electricity producers in the world and operates the biggest fleet of nuclear power plants in Europe, with 56 reactors across France. EDF also produces power from hydroelectric dams, wind farms, and solar panels.

EDF makes most of its money by selling electricity directly to customers and through long-term contracts with industrial buyers and governments. It operates mainly in France but also has energy businesses in the United Kingdom, Italy, and other countries. The French government owns nearly 100% of EDF, which gives it stable backing but also means political decisions heavily influence its strategy. The company's biggest challenge right now is the high cost of repairing and upgrading its aging nuclear fleet, which has pushed operating margins deeply negative and created significant debt — making financial recovery the central story for the years ahead.
