Neutral

$37.50

43.57%

James Hardie Industries' second-quarter earnings are tracking above guidance, notes UBS, helped by lower distributor de-stocking and reduced non-operating costs.

Management now expects earnings (EBITDA) to be about 19% higher, with earnings per share of 26-27c, roughly 77% above initial guidance. The broker lifts its FY26 earnings (EBITDA) forecast by 5% to $1.14bn, at the top of the company’s range.

FY26 EPS guidance remains unchanged for now.

UBS expects housing softness to continue, with new construction and renovation activity still weak.

The broker raises its target price to $37.50 from $36.00 and maintains a Neutral rating.

This summary relates to UBS research released on Thursday 9 October.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 144.81 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 186.86 cents.

Overweight

$38.00

45.48%

James Hardie Industries has released its AGM notice with Jarden noting focus on CEO pay, director elections, and a proposed 26% rise in non-executive director fees to US$4.8m.

The broker argues both board and management benefit from the costly Azek acquisition, which raised leverage to 3.5 times earnings (EBITDA) and added governance risks.

Proposed 2026-28 long-term incentives (LTI) are more quantitative, with one-third return on capital employed (ROCE), one-third total shareholder return (TSR) versus the S&P500, and one-third a mixed scorecard. Citi suggests targets appear easier to achieve.

Overweight rating and $38.00 target price.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 120.37 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 199.16 cents.
