Then on August 19, 2025, James Hardie Industries plc revealed that its North American fiber cement sales declined 12% during the quarter, driven by destocking first discovered "in April through May" as customers "made efforts to return to more normal inventory levels[.]" The Company also revealed that significant inventory destocking was expected to continue to impact sales for the next several quarters.

Shares of James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) declined from $29.83 per share on August 13, 2025, to as low as $17.19 per share on August 20, 2025.

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) common shares between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between May 20, 2025 and August 18, 2025, despite starting to see North America Fiber Cement customers destocking inventory in April and early May 2025, the defendants made numerous statements falsely assuring investors that the segment remained strong despite the challenging market environment and expressly denying that inventory destocking was occurring. Investors remained unaware that sales in James Hardie's largest business segment were experiencing inventory loading by channel partners, with the hallmarks of fraudulent channel stuffing, and not sustainable customer demand as represented, the James Hardie class action lawsuit further alleges.

Those who purchased shares of James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
