Investors Urged to Act as James Hardie Faces Class Action Lawsuit

A securities class action lawsuit has been initiated against James Hardie Industries plc, targeting investors who acquired shares between May 20, 2025, and August 18, 2025. The law firm Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP is representing the plaintiffs, and the deadline for appointing a lead plaintiff is set for December 23, 2025.

The lawsuit alleges that during the specified class period, the company made misleading statements regarding its business performance. Specifically, the complaint asserts that James Hardie falsely claimed robust demand for its products while being aware that its North American distributors were significantly reducing inventory. This discrepancy raises concerns about the accuracy of the company’s public statements regarding its operations and future prospects.

They can seek to become lead plaintiffs through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or opt to remain absent class members. The lead plaintiff’s role is crucial, as they represent the interests of all class members throughout the litigation process. Typically, the lead plaintiff is an investor or a small group of investors who have the largest financial stake in the case.
