James Hardie Industries Fraud Investigation
In a significant announcement, the Schall Law Firm has initiated an investigation into the actions of James Hardie Industries plc, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol JHX. This inquiry stems from serious allegations regarding violations of securities laws that may have severely impacted investors involved with the firm.
The investigation has come in the backdrop of James Hardie's disappointing financial performance revealed in its first-quarter results for 2026, released on August 19, 2025. The company reported a staggering 29% drop in quarterly profits, alongside a revised forecast predicting lower-than-anticipated full-year earnings. The management attributed this decline partially to soaring borrowing costs, which significantly affected its financial outlook.
Following the disclosure of these troubling results, shareholders witnessed a dramatic plunge in the company’s value, with American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of James Hardie dropping by over 34.4% in the following trading day. This massive devaluation raises red flags about the company's disclosures and accounting practices.
