James Hardie Bull Sees Repair, Remodel Driving Outlook

Dow Jones07-27 10:50

0250 GMT - An improvement in repair and remodel, or R&R, is the key driver for James Hardie from here, Macquarie says in a research note. The bank raises its target on the stock by 4.0% to A$41.20/share after preliminary 1Q earnings numbers that beat expectations. Siding and trim sales were the main driver of that beat, says Macquarie. It also thinks there could have been a meaningful contribution from either corporate costs, or its operations in Australia or Europe. The company is scheduled to report its 1Q profit results next week. Macquarie reiterates an outperform rating. Shares in James Hardie are up 4.0% at A$38.38.
