Headline check

One of the three things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

Well, to narrow things down, let's see what analysts are saying about the popular shares listed below.

Morgans is feeling more positive about this building products company following the release of its investor day update.

In response, the broker has upgraded James Hardie shares to an accumulate rating with a trimmed price target of $43.00.

JHX held its combined James Hardie and AZEK Investor Day in New York on 15 September 2026.

Bell Potter remains bearish on this property listings company and has named its shares as a sell this week with a $148.00 price target.
