Lawsuit Allegations.
The James Hardie lawsuit alleges that the Company and certain senior executives misled investors about the strength of its key North America Fiber Cement segment between May 20 and August 18, 2025. Despite knowing by April and early May that distributors were destocking inventory, the company falsely claimed that demand remained strong and that stock levels were “normal.”
Then, on August 19, 2025, James Hardie disclosed a 12% sales decline in the segment, attributing it to “normalization of channel inventories,” and warned of continued weakness. Following this revelation, the company’s share price plummeted more than 34%, causing massive investor losses.
