based on FY 2013 results
TOTAL---KK
p/b--0.44---2
PE--12.5---23.7
Div yield-2.3%---1.1%Clearly total beats KK but what are the terms of the Sh. 5.2b preference shares issued by total to total group and the outlook for both companies in FY14?
check out the cashflow statement.the company generates more than that 5.2 b in cashflow in a year.i could be wrong but this company is worth deeper analysis

Currently holds 2.4b in cashflows up from overdraft of 3.6b. The cashflow was greatly boosted by the preference shares the previous FY.
@guru267 might agree with me that these preference shares mighht come to haunt it.
free cashflow for each of the two years is above 5.2 b . even with the preference shares and the fact that oil marketers require alot of working capital i have a sufficient margin of safety on this one.
let us talk in 2-3 years time!
All that cash flow you speak about came from preference shares!
How does the margin of safety come in??
Cash flow from operations(2013=7.8b) is indicated separate from proceeds from issuance of preference shares(2012=5.2b) in the cashflow statements.
cashflow from operations 2010=6.01b
2011=-2b 2012=6.7b 2013=7.8b
I dont bother much about NAV but anyway even if total were to pay off all those preference shares the company would prudently trade at book value.
What excites me is the ability of this company to generate cash.
Margin of safety is the margin of error that i allow myself on my valuations.
@aguy i agree with you.
I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them
