James Hardie Investors Face Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline Today in Securities Class Action
Plaintiffs say growth in the North America fiber‑cement business was driven by distributor overstocking rather than real demand.
Overview
- Multiple investor law firms, including The Rosen Law Firm, The Gross Law Firm, and Levi & Korsinsky, issued final reminders tied to the December 23, 2025 filing cutoff.
- The putative class covers purchasers of James Hardie common stock (NYSE: JHX) from May 20, 2025 through August 18, 2025.
- The complaint alleges the company misrepresented North America segment conditions by downplaying deteriorating demand and the buildup of excess distributor inventory.
- One notice asserts company personnel knew by April and early May 2025 that distributors were destocking even as public statements described demand and stock levels as normal.
- A lawsuit has been filed, no class has been certified, and investors need not serve as lead plaintiff to share in any potential recovery.
