James Hardie Investors Face Dec. 23 Deadline in Destocking Securities Suit

The suit contends the company masked distributor destocking in its core North America Fiber Cement business.

Overview

New notices from Kessler Topaz and Rosen Law remind purchasers of James Hardie stock to move for lead-plaintiff status by December 23, 2025.
The putative class covers investors who bought common stock between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025.
Complaints allege the company knew by April and early May that distributors were cutting inventory yet publicly described demand as strong and inventory levels as normal.
On August 19, 2025 the company reported a 12% sales decline in North America Fiber Cement tied to inventory normalization, and the stock fell more than 34% the next day.
No class has been certified, and investors are not represented by counsel unless they retain one, though participation in any recovery does not depend on serving as lead plaintiff.
