DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than December 23, 2025 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class.  If you have losses, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, James Hardie falsely assured investors that its North America Fiber Cement segment remained strong and that stock levels were “normal,” despite starting to see destocking of inventory in April and early May 2025 by its North America Fiber Cement customers.

On August 19, 2025, James Hardie disclosed a 12% sales decline in its North America Fiber Cement segment and projected lower-than-expected fiscal 2026 earnings.  According to the complaint, James Hardie admitted that its disappointing results largely reflect “expected normalization of channel inventories due to moderating growth expectations by our customers as uncertainty built throughout April and early May.”

Following this news, the price of James Hardie shares fell $9.79 per share, over 34%, to close at $18.64 per share on August 20, 2025.
