Why is James Hardie Industries Dropping Today?

James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE:JHX)

  • Q4 earnings miss: Reported EPS of $0.36 vs. $0.37 consensus and revenue of $971.5 million vs. $983.9 million expected, marking a 3.3% year-over-year revenue decline and a net profit drop of around 9%–17%.
  • Cautious outlook: FY26 guidance calls for low single-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA amid tariff risks, slowing North American volumes and macroeconomic uncertainty in home construction.
  • Analyst adjustment: Truist Financial trimmed its price target from $45.00 to $35.00 while maintaining a “buy” rating, reflecting lower near-term expectations despite longer-term upside.
  • Investor sentiment: Shares gapped down after the weak results and cautious guidance, with further pressure from concerns over the proposed $14 billion AZEK takeover and broader market headwinds.

Overall, today’s downward movement in JHX shares reflects disappointing quarterly results, a more subdued growth outlook and analyst target cuts, outweighing the company’s long-term strategic initiatives.
