JHX DEADLINE: Faruqi & Faruqi urges investors in James Hardie to act before Dec 23, 2025

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP — a prominent U.S. securities‑litigation law firm — has issued a reminder to investors of James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) about the upcoming deadline to seek the position of lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit. The firm is investigating potential claims against James Hardie after allegations that the company and its executives misled investors about the health of its North American fiber-cement business between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025. According to the lawsuit, James Hardie allegedly knew as early as April and early May 2025 that its distributors were destocking inventory — a warning sign — yet publicly maintained that demand was still “strong” and that inventory levels were “normal.” Then, on August 19, 2025, when the company released its first-quarter results (ended June 30), it reported a 29% drop in profit and warned that fiscal‑2026 earnings would likely disappoint, citing higher borrowing costs. The very next day, the company’s ADR price plunged — dropping by US$9.79 (about 34.4%) to close at US$18.64. Investors who bought or acquired James Hardie securities during the May 20–August 18 window and suffered losses are being urged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi — specifically partner James (Josh) Wilson — to discuss their rights. The deadline to file a motion for lead‑plaintiff status is December 23, 2025. #JamesHardie #ClassAction #InvestorAlert #SecuritiesFraud #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
