Neutral

$45.00

4.21%

James Hardie delivered June Q earnings 5% ahead of UBS and pre-announced guidance, which almost entirely reflected the updated policy to take equity compensation expense below the line.

The Sep Q guide came in 12% ahead of consensus, reflecting market share gains and strategic wins in Siding, alongside the impact of the load-in of new national sole distributor, Boise Cascade, in the Decking segment.

UBS expects the stock to remain driven by sentiment towards the US housing cycle, with the timing and shape of any recovery dependent on improving consumer confidence and lower mortgage rates. Target rises to $45 from $40, Neutral retained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 197.31 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 233.85 cents.

Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight

$37.60

-12.92%

Jarden downgrades James Hardie Industries from Overweight to Neutral with its target price increased to $37.60 from $34.20 following a preliminary first-quarter release confirming a strong start to the fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA outperformed consensus by 9%, led by Siding and Trim alongside higher collective contributions from APAC, EMEA, and Corporate segments.

The analyst lifts the FY27 EBITDA forecast by 5% to $1.56bn and increases adjusted EPS by 5%, placing estimates above management guidance ranges.

FY28 and FY29 EPS forecasts are reduced by -2% to reflect downside risks to new US construction and higher financing costs.

Fair valuation against historical price-to-earnings averages underpins the rating downgrade to Neutral.
