What Daikin Industries does

World's largest maker of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment; also makes fluorochemicals.

Sells air conditioners and heat pumps mostly through distributors and installers, and nearly all revenue is air conditioning, with the majority from outside Japan. The 2006 purchase of Malaysia's OYL, owner of McQuay, and the 2012 purchase of US maker Goodman made it global. Fluorochemicals, including the refrigerants it uses, are a small supplier business.

In one line: A global Carrier/Trane, but bigger in HVAC.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
