Investors invited to lead class‑action against James Hardie for alleged market misstatements

U.S. shareholder‑rights firm Schall Law Firm has opened up leadership opportunities in a proposed class‑action lawsuit against James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) for alleged violations of Section 10(b), Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b‑5.  The suit targets investors who bought James Hardie securities between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025 (the “Class Period”) and suffered losses when the company allegedly misled the market. According to the complaint, the firm downplayed weakening demand in its North American fiber‑cement business—despite knowing distributors were destocking inventory. On August 19, 2025, James Hardie disclosed a 12 % sales decline and characterized it as “normalization of channel inventories,” triggering investor losses once the truth emerged. Investors interested in pursuing leadership roles in the case must contact the Schall Law Firm by December 23, 2025, to discuss their rights and potential representation. #JamesHardie #SecuritiesFraud #ClassAction #ShareholderRights #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
