Hold

$45.00

5.68%

James Hardie Industries is performing well, in Morgans' view, given the challenging macroeconomic backdrop. FY27 guidance is for adjusted EBITDA at US$1.54bn-$1.63bn, falling largely in line with forecasts.

First quarter net sales were US$1.475bn while adjusted EBITDA of US$422.1m was at a 28.6% margin, slightly beating the broker's forecast. In the second quarter the business will benefit from several one-off items.

The broker continues to believe the stock is a high-quality exposure but as it is now trading in line with historical averages a Hold rating is maintained. Target is raised to $45 from $40.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 196.51 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 219.80 cents.

Neutral

$42.40

-0.42%

Jarden maintains its Neutral recommendation for James Hardie Industries with its target price reduced to $42.40 from $44.00 following an agreement to sell Fermacell, including the Fermacell and Aestuver brands, to Holcim for EUR840m (US$980m) in cash alongside intentions to close its European fibre cement business.

The analyst views the transaction as a prudent reallocation of capital given fibre cement never scaled in Europe as intended, accounting for 17% of European net sales in 2025.

The broker's estimates indicate that supplying the region from North American plants means an estimated -2%-3% of North American volume will disappear with the closure.

Updates to forecasts reflect the expected divestiture of Europe, debt paydown, and a buyback, lowering earnings per share estimates by -3%-5%.
