JHX Investor Alert: James Hardie Industries plc Shareholders With Significant Losses Now Have Chance to Lead Class Action Lawsuit

Law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has opened the opportunity for investors who bought or acquired James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) common stock—previously held as American Depositary Shares before converting on July 1, 2025—between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025 (the “Class Period”) to apply to become lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit Labours’ District Council & Contractors’ Pension Fund of Ohio v. James Hardie Industries plc, No. 25‑cv‑13018 (N.D. Ill.). The lawsuit alleges that during the Class Period James Hardie and certain of its executives misled investors by falsely assuring strong performance in its North America Fiber Cement segment, despite customers allegedly destocking inventory starting in April and May 2025—an issue the company reportedly concealed. On August 19, 2025 the company revealed a 12% drop in North America Fiber Cement sales caused by the destocking, and this disclosure triggered a more than 34% drop in its share price, according to the complaint. Investors who suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff must submit their application by December 23, 2025. Being appointed lead plaintiff does not affect an investor’s right to share in potential recovery if not selected. #JamesHardie #ClassAction #InvestorAlert #SecuritiesLitigation #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
