According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. James Hardie suffered from weakening demand in its key North America Fiber Cement business due to distributors destocking their inventory, an event the Company knew about by early May 2025. The Company falsely claimed that demand remained strong and that inventory levels were “normal.” The Company revealed a 12% sales decline in the business on August 19, 2025, claimed it was “normalization of channel inventories.” Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about James Hardie, investors suffered damages.
