About the Lawsuit
James Hardie and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On August 19, 2025, despite prior reassurances that its North America Fiber Cement segment remained strong, the Company disclosed that sales in North America Fiber Cement declined by 12% due to customer destocking first discovered “in April through May,” that was expected to impact sales for at least the next two quarters.
On this news, the price of James Hardie’s shares fell by over 34%, or $9.79 per share, from a closing price of $28.43 per share on August 18, 2025 to $18.64 per share on August 20, 2025.
The case is Laborers’ District Council and Contractors’ Pension Fund of Ohio v. James Hardie Industries plc, et al., No. 25-cv-13018.
