SYDNEY--Building materials supplier James Hardie Industries PLC
raised its earnings guidance for the 2022 fiscal year, benefiting
from improving prospects in the U.S. housing sector.
James Hardie forecast adjusted net income for the year through
March of between US$620 million and US$630 million, having
previously projected an outcome of US$605 million-US$625 million.
This signals strong growth on adjusted net income of US$458 million

The guidance uplift was "based on the continued, strong
execution of the global strategy across all three regions and the
expectation for continued residential and market growth in the
U.S.," James Hardie said.
The company also forecast adjusted net income of US$740
million-US$820 million in the 2023 fiscal year.
For the nine months through December, James Hardie reported a
