James Hardie's fiscal 2027 first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of USD 422 million exceeded quarterly guidance. Most sales growth was in the fiber cement siding category, despite a backdrop of a subdued residential construction sector in its main market of the US.
James Hardie’s US segment continues to take market share from lower-cost alternative siding materials, such as vinyl and wood, despite higher prices and a downturn in residential spending.
High interest rates are likely to damp demand for new housing.
