Improved James Hardie Earnings Guidance Looks Light

Dow Jones08-10

0111 GMT - Even James Hardie's upgraded earnings guidance appears conservative to Macquarie. Building-products company James Hardie raised FY 2027 adjusted Ebitda guidance to US$1.536 billion-US$1.625 billion. Macquarie forecasts US$1.637 billion. "We expect some late-FY27 recovery in activity, aided by multi-family pipelines and top-of-market R&R [repair and remodel] momentum," the bank says. Macquarie projects so-called commercial synergies to become a key driver of the company's share-price performance. "The evolution of supply chain and channel strategy, manufacturing efficiencies and the impact of sales integration (combined with expanded distributor relationships) all support this narrative," it says. Macquarie has an outperform rating on James Hardie's Australian shares. It raises its price target to A$47.10 from A$41.20. The stock is down 1.3% at A$42.63.
