Daikin Industries makes products most people rarely think about - air conditioners, heat pumps, the systems that keep offices, homes, and factories running. But it’s become harder for investors to ignore since Elliott Management disclosed a major stake in the company.

We also discuss the longer-term case, and why Russ is adding the firm to the Finimize Portfolio.
