JHX Earnings Call
Q2 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted successful integration with AZEK and strong performance in the Deck, Rail & Accessories segment, along with notable cost synergy achievements. However, these positives were offset by significant challenges in the North American market, particularly in single-family new construction, leading to a decline in net sales and a conservative outlook. The cost pressures from raw material inflation further compounded the challenges.View all AU:JHX earnings summariesJHX Stock 12 Month Forecast
