Fund manager flags ASX 200 heavyweight James Hardie as a buy after €840 million Fermacell sale plan

AI Market Summary
James Hardie's planned €840m sale of its European Fermacell unit to Holcim and the intended closure of its European fibre cement business signal a strategic pivot toward core North American growth and balance sheet deleveraging. Management's FY27 guidance upgrade (higher sales/EBITDA and ≥$500m free cash flow) supports a constructive company-specific read-through, but broader market impact is limited and largely idiosyncratic.
