JHX ALERT: James Hardie Industries plc Investors Notified of Pending Securities Fraud Lawsuit with December 23 Deadline

On November 22, 2025, law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP (BFA) announced a class‑action lawsuit filed against James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) and certain senior executives, alleging securities fraud after the company’s fiber‑cement business in North America significantly under‑performed. The complaint claims that James Hardie misled investors by portraying strong momentum and “normal stock levels” in its North American segment, while in reality the company was allegedly engaged in channel‑stuffing — loading inventory into partners rather than selling based on genuine demand. On August 19, 2025, James Hardie revealed a 12% decline in North American fiber‑cement sales and disclosed that inventory destocking had begun in April–May — news that triggered a more than 34% drop in the stock price, from USD 28.43 to USD 18.64. Investors who purchased common stock of James Hardie (including former American Depositary Shares) during the relevant period and suffered losses are urged to submit their information. The lead‑plaintiff appointment deadline is December 23, 2025. BFA highlights its experience in securities class‑actions, noting recoveries of over USD 900 million from Tesla, Inc.’s board and USD 420 million from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.. If you believe you are eligible, there is no cost to submit your information, and representation is on a contingency basis; costs and fees are subject to court approval. #JamesHardie #SecuritiesFraud #InvestorAlert #ClassAction #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
