An announcement made by Bernstein Liebhard LLP states that a shareholder has initiated a securities class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the common stock of James Hardie Industries plc between May 20, 2025, and August 18, 2025. The lawsuit specifically targets James Hardie, also known as the Company, under the NYSE ticker symbol JHX. Investors who meet the criteria outlined in the lawsuit – owning shares of James Hardie during the specified period and facing financial losses as a result – are encouraged to consider participating in this legal action.

The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants misrepresented the strength of James Hardie’s North America Fiber Cement segment despite the challenging market conditions at the time. Investors interested in leading the Class action have until December 23, 2025, to file necessary documents.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP, with a successful track record dating back to 1993, has recovered substantial amounts exceeding $3.5 billion for its clients over the years. Apart from serving individual investors, the firm is also entrusted by major public and private pension funds to safeguard their assets and pursue legal avenues when necessary.
