What do the latest results show for James Hardie Industries (JHX)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q1 FY2027, carried revenue of $1.47B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest quarter extended the revenue recovery and produced stronger gross profit, operating profit and net profit than the prior period. Operating profit advanced faster than sales as administrative expense changed little, while operating cash flow reached the strongest level in the recent quarterly history. Reported revenue and earnings also exceeded market estimates.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for James Hardie Industries (JHX)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $289.90M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $344.00M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Positive operating cash flow and liquidity above near-term obligations provide financial capacity, but the balance sheet carries far more debt than cash. Cash also fell sharply from the prior period, and cash generation has been uneven after capital spending.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

What should you watch next at James Hardie Industries (JHX)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 9, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The upcoming report should be judged against management's sales outlook and the market estimate, with particular attention to whether operating profit continues to rise faster than revenue. That conversion matters because recent annual sales growth coincided with a steep decline in net profit.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
In Q2, we expect net sales of $1.485 billion to $1.575 billion, or growth of 14.9% to 21.9%.

How does James Hardie Industries compare with its peers?
Short answer
James Hardie Industries's score ranks 13th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
James Hardie spans exterior cladding, interior linings and specialized structural boards rather than depending on a narrow building application. Its fiber cement, fiber gypsum and cement-bonded portfolio also reaches residential, commercial and do-it-yourself demand across several regions, broadening the routes to sale while leaving the business exposed to construction activity.

JHX Basic Materials Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Does James Hardie depend only on new home construction?
Commercial development, interior work, structural fire protection and do-it-yourself projects also use James Hardie products. The portfolio therefore reaches renovation and specialized building applications as well as new homes.
Why did James Hardie profit weaken while annual sales rose?
The annual accounts show that higher revenue did not flow through to net profit. Recent quarterly improvement is encouraging, but the wide gap between gross profit and net profit makes expense control and financing pressure important checks.
Why is James Hardie's cash balance a concern despite positive operating cash flow?
Debt substantially exceeds cash, and the latest cash balance declined from the prior period. Operating cash flow can rebuild liquidity, but capital spending absorbs a meaningful share and has made cash conversion uneven.
What would support James Hardie's free cash flow outlook?
Sustained operating cash generation alongside capital spending within management's stated sales intensity would support the outlook. Investors can test that claim by tracking cash after capital expenditure and whether the balance sheet begins retaining more liquidity.

Sources — records for every figure on this page (83 figures)
The 83 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
