James Hardie Industries PLC (JHX) - Comprehensive analysis
We are removing James Hardie from our Best Ideas list. We continue to have a favorable view of wide-moat James Hardie and anticipate significant growth potential, driven by the aging housing stock and contract wins with major homebuilders in the US market. However, the discount we previously observed has mostly diminished due to recent share price increases. Azek shareholders have approved the acquisition by James Hardie, and we believe the rebound in share price indicates a more accurate earnings outlook for the combined entity, with shares nearing our fair value estimate of AUD 48 per share.
