Daikin Industries: Eyes On Re-Rating Potential After Activist Investor Involvement

I rate Daikin Industries as a 'Buy'; an activist investor has recently acquired a stake in the company, which drew attention to its undervaluation. The stock's current P/E is attractive compared to peers and its own historical trading mean. The potential re-rating catalysts include a resumption of repurchases, profit margin improvement, and the sale of non-core businesses.
